Corry happy to lead Leicester despite availability dispute
Under the Rugby Football Union’s version of an 11-week rest period for elite English players - which they say includes this summer’s Lions tour of New Zealand - Corry should not play a full game (classed as more than 40 minutes) until September 17.
Leicester, though, do not accept that English rugby’s elite player scheme covers the Lions, and Corry is set to play a full part in Leicester’s Premiership opener at Welford Road.
