Tigers' back-line is looking unstoppable from next season.

Leicester Tigers have a made a huge statement of intent for next season with J.P Pietersen and Matt Toomua being primed for a season in the Aviva Premiership.

And if ex-Springbok captain Jean De Villiers signs an extension to his contract so that he stays on for another season, their back-line will be one to admire but fear.

JDV is yet to play for Tigers this season as he recovers from a severe leg injury that shortened his World Cup in September but Tigers fans, and I think secretly all rugby fans, cannot wait to see him pair up with Manu Tuilagi in the centre.

In our eyes, the JDV-Tuilagi pairing is almost perfect.

Why?

Manu Tuilagi is one of the hottest properties in world rugby and rightfully so. This meant that when he signed his new contract extension earlier this season, it was a massive middle finger to the French clubs which were circling to snap him up on a massive wage.

He has power, speed and not bad feet either for such a big man. His only criticism has been his kicking and distribution, not surprising when he needs neither to smash through defences.

What JDV will do is give that centre partnership the mind and feet of an experienced and world class centre so that if Manu is pulling players to one side so that they can get ready to bring him down, JDV will be able to rip them apart with skill and vision. Visualise it as if it were the perfect storm. It is hard to visualise how any team can defend against that.

But with next season already having players like Luke Charteris, Toby Faletau, Greg Holmes, Louis Picamoles and Schalk Burger joining from overseas, the competition will be the most fierce it has ever been.

But I think no back-line, noting that the players mentioned above are all forwards, can come close to what Leicester's could potentially be.

Leicester's back line could consist of 9-Youngs, 10- Toomua, 11- Pietersen, 12- JDV, 13- Tuilagi, 14- Veainu, and 15- Tait. And that's not even, arguably, their best line either!

All that can be said is that the Tigers will have the best back line from next season and their forwards won't be too far behind either.

Next season is looking to be the most competitive yet with each team boasting a few world class players. However ,I think next season is the season to watch the Tigers in terms of attacking play and I for one cannot wait!
