Former England captain Corry retired from international rugby in January

Leicester Tigers captain Martin Corry believes the club are ready to deal with losing a number of players when the autumn internationals begin.

Corry told BBC Radio Leicester: "Hopefully we'll lose [Toby] Flood, Harry [Ellis] and a few forwards.

"But the rest of the squad have been given game-time too and have shown that they can step up."

The 34-year-old also said young players Jordan Crane and Tom Croft have been impressive in their latest appearances.

Corry said: "They've both been playing some superb rugby and it's great to be a part of a side where the youngsters are now coming through and leading the way.

"Between them they've probably been two of the more consistent performers we've had."

The Tigers face Cardiff Blues in the EDF Energy Cup on Saturday.
