Great to see Liebenberg back for us and Nadolo and Brink on the bench. Kobus Van Wyk preferred to Potter and Youngs and Ford start

Could just be Potter rotated and rested for Ulster

I think so

[TigerFeetSteve]

Moroni and Potter getting a break from our backline. Reffell also with a well deserved breather!

Yet still an immense team!

[OakhamTiger32]

Just noticed that Moroni is being rested also. Guess they are giving Potter, Moroni and Reffell a deserved break prior to the Ulster game as mentioned above. Great to see Nadolo, Brink and Liebenberg back from injury. Very strong 23 there with some great impact off the bench with Clare, De Bruin and Heyes all in fine form and Lavanini and Brink adding some good ball carrying options. Great to see JvP recalled to the bench and Henry is a good utility back to have available if required.

Very exciting squad and should be a cracker

Full of confidence now................................

[Noggs]

Very happy with this team and as a home game I am expecting a win. We have better stats than Saints in the set piece and with good refereeing I expect we will win a number of penalties, especially in the scrum. I hope this is not a hostage to fortune.

Let’s hope so!

[Traveller]

it's just great to be anticipating Saturday's once again rather than dreading them.

[TigerBoy1880]

I cannot wait for this game! Unfortunately, I’ll be at work so will have to watch it tomorrow night.

Come on you Tigers!!

[DeadlyDunc]

Beast of a bench - could be the difference on the day IMO

[Leicestertinytiger]

Glad to see Wallace start, thought Reffell was quiet last week. Wallace offers a bit more physicality and experience on the pitch.

Both strong XVs, should be a great game, hopefully our bench will be the difference. Could see Genge taking Painter to the cleaners in the scrum.
