1 / 3
Adam Thompstone returns from long-term injury and summer signing Nephi Leatigaga is in line for his Leicester Tigers debut in Saturday’s trip to face Bath Rugby in the Premiership Rugby Cup.
Experienced wing Thompstone, in his eighth season with Tigers, plays his first game of the year after recovery from a knee injury which ended his 2018/19 season early.
He is joined in the Tigers back three by Jonah Holmes and Jordan Olowofela, who both scored tries in last Friday’s Round 2 win over Exeter Chiefs at Welford Road.
George Worth and Joe Thomas team up at centre, with former England Under-20s internationals Tom Hardwick and Ben White at half-back after both appeared off the bench last week.
Tatafu Polota-Nau makes his first starting appearance of the campaign at hooker, with Harry Wells and Tommy Reffell returning to the starting pack.
Calum Green, who returned to the club this summer, leads out the team as captain.
Samoa international prop Leatigaga is included in the squad for the first time since his arrival from Biarritz in the summer and scrum-half Harry Simmons is also in line for his first appearance of the season after being named alongside fellow academy graduates Sam Costelow and Freddie Steward on the bench.
Tigers are back on home soil in Round 4 when Northampton Saints are the visitors to Welford Road in the opening derby day of the season. Tickets are on sale now from the Tigers ticket office. Book in person, by phoning 0116 319 8888 (option 2) or online.

Stronger than expected. Interesting to see Worth back at centre. Looks like we're committed to the two playmakers at 10 and 12 this season. Still awaiting Taute and Vijeon's debuts.
Great to see Thompstone back out there.

Re: PRC Round 3 - Bath vs Tigers
Good mix of youth experience and players returning.
Green’s leadership qualities obviously rated by the coaching team

Re: PRC Round 3 - Bath vs Tigers
Will still be on the pitch providing leadership and helping Green.
His age must stand against him, or maybe he doesn’t want it

Re: PRC Round 3 - Bath vs Tigers
maybe they feel the captaincy would burden Thompson, if so leave him be to lead by example
Re: PRC Round 3 - Bath vs Tigers
I wonder why we haven't seen Taute and Vijeon's yet? I would have thought they would be starters in the premiership until the world cup boys are back playing, but then you would have thought they need game time and time to gel with the rest of the teamsam16111986 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 04, 2019 12:08 pm BUY TICKETS

Re: PRC Round 3 - Bath vs Tigers
Probably niggles holding back Viljoen and Taute, good team, let’s hope Green renews the coaches faith, hoping for a good win!

Re: PRC Round 3 - Bath vs Tigers
Not sure if we’re just holding back before the season starts in earnest. The final PRC squad will be interesting but I wonder if the centres will feature Eastmond/Taute/Viljoen as a dress rehearsal for R1 of the Prem?
Re: PRC Round 3 - Bath vs Tigers
Had a nice chat with EW and JT at the riders tonight. EW is looking to be fit for the Stains game and JT maybe the week after. I’ve had a couple of sherry’s, but one said they had broke a bone in their hand, hence the lack of involvement so far.
Re: PRC Round 3 - Bath vs Tigers
EW, JT??? Who are you referring to? Not all users are familiar with the players by initials.
Thanks

Re: PRC Round 3 - Bath vs Tigers
What is/are the riders?
Thanks
As Good As It Gets
Re: PRC Round 3 - Bath vs Tigers
Riders are Leicester Riders Basketball team
EW = Ew Viljoen?
JT - Jaco Taute?
Like you I think using the initials is confusing. We have 3 players with the initials JT and no players with the initials EW!
