Ollie Chessum
It’s easy to spot the towering 6ft 7in figure of Ollie Chessum on the pitch. Chessum rapidly climbed through the ranks of Leicester’s academy before moving on to Championship club Nottingham for a brief spell. He now finds himself playing a pivotal role in the Tigers side. The 6ft 7in lock featured in Steve Borthwick's squad for Rugby World Cup 2023 in France and started alongside Maro Itoje in the side’s Bronze Final match against Argentina. Chessum was recently named in Borthwick’s squad ahead of the Guinness Men’s Six Nations 2025.
