🏥 Viliame Mata will miss the remainder of the 2025/26 season after suffering an ACL injury against Leicester Tigers. The Fijian number eight sustained the injury during the Gallagher PREM round 11 clash at Mattioli Woods Welford Road and is scheduled to return next season. Director of Rugby, Pat Lam, said: “Losing a player of Bill’s quality and experience for the remainder of the season, especially alongside injuries to other frontline forwards Pedro Rubiolo and Joe Batley in our pack, is a tough blow and reflects the kind of season we have had with injuries to date. “With all of the injuries, it just creates opportunity for other players to step up and perform for the team.”
