Meyer has high hopes for Tigers

Leicester Tigers head coach Heyneke Meyer says he hopes he can make his new club the next big team in world rugby.

Meyer told BBC Radio Leicester: "I never thought I'd coach again but I always knew if I did go back it would have to be a special club.

"I'm very impressed with what I've seen in Leicester and I want to see if I can make them better."

Meyer led the Blue Bulls to the 2007 Super 14 title - the first South African side to win the trophy.
