This is Leicestershire -- * Leicester Tigers* skipper Toby Flood is almost certain to leave the club this summer and join French giants Toulouse. His decision, which comes after another reported offer from Toulon, will end a six-year association with Leicester. It is also likely to mean England's Stuart Lancaster will be without his most experienced fly-half going into the 2015 World Cup, unless Flood has secured an international release clause in his contract. Tigers had been expecting their club captain to seek a fresh challenge, despite doing everything in their power to keep him at the club. They will now turn their attentions to signing a replacement, with Gloucester's Freddie Burns and Llanelli Scarlets' Rhys Priestland at the top of their shopping list. Flood will join a Toulouse side that has not renewed the contract of current France fly-half Lionel Beuaxis.
