Leicester have put their European fate in the healing hands of the German doctor whose 'rooster-booster' treatment has cured a galaxy of global stars. writes Peter Jackson in the Daily Mail.
"The Tigers' prospects of surviving Sunday's exposure to six Welsh Lions at the Millennium Stadium and stopping Cardiff's unbeaten run to the Heineken Cup final will rest on whether Dr Hans Muller- Wolfhart has got Aaron Mauger up and running in time. Leicester will have their most valuable player back in training this morning after sending him to the renowned specialist's clinic in Munich, where patients have included Michael Owen and Paula Radcliffe.
"The All Black's presence in midfield will be crucial if Leicester are to reach their fourth European final and recapture the Guinness Premiership title which they lost to Wasps last season. Instead of collecting his club player of the year trophy last week, Mauger was in Germany hoping to find a swift cure to the back condition which has kept him out of action for a month. Muller-Wolfhart's treatment includes a substance taken from crushed pink cockerels' combs."
