Tigers will still be strong but it will be interesting to see how Reffell copes with playing for Wales and in the prem, I remember it was very tough for Will Rowlands trying to do both.
November particularly could be interesting for Tigers, no SA (Pollard, Wiese) and Argentinians (Montoya) potentially a larger number of England players (JVP, Steward, Chessum, Hayes, Porter etc) plus Reffell absent.
