Joe gives props to King Cole

JOE HEYES is getting used to life without Dan Cole and filling the old prop's shirt with Leicester and England.

Tight-head Heyes was mentored by Cole, who retired last year with 118 caps, at Tigers and on the international stage.

Heyes, 26, won his 15th cap against Australia last weekend and is set to add to that against Fiji on Saturday, following in the footsteps of a man who was his hero at Welford Road.
