Argentina's Agulla takes the No14 shirt after missing the Round 1 win over Aironi, while scrum-half Youngs is included among the replacements following his return to fitness after his World Cup campaign.
Captain Geordan Murphy will equal predecessor Martin Corry's record number of Heineken Cup appearances for the club as he runs out in Tigers colours for the 69th time in the competition.

Niall Morris, a try-scorer in the win in Italy last weekend, reverts to the replacements to make room for Agulla who has scored twice in three appearances this season.

[Hull Fan]

Let's hope the pride and passion are there for the full 80 mins and not just the first 20-40mins this week.
C'mon boys lets give them a thrashing!

[suttyprop]

Its great to see a team sheet beginning to resemble our 1st choice starting xv let's hope we finally click 5 points! Come on you tigers

[Jay C]

Glad to see Harrison & Forsyth keep their places & the XV is pretty much as expected. Tough on Morris, but Agulla is worth a start, and at least he stays ahead of Bubbles on the bench.

12Trees not fit after all then, but at least YBY & Hawkins are back in the matchday squad.

IF we can get past their backrow, then I fancy us to do some damage in attack.

Come on Tigers - we need the WIN & a big 80 minute performance, please, as well !!!

[Mo Leicester]

[quote="Mo Leicester"]absolutley not!![/quote]


Sorry guys, IMHO the most overated player in the squad, has been for years, a very good club player but thats it

[BJ.]

Chobbsy, as a matter of interest why was it necessary to copy the entire listing for both teams when all you wanted to say was Skivington should start instead of Deacon?

[4071]

absolutley not!!

Sorry guys, IMHO the most overated player in the squad, has been for years, a very good club player but thats it

And the match tomorrow - is that an international or a club game?

Deacon has outperformed Skivington for Leicester. So he should be picked to start. Simple.

Sorry disagree, good in the line out, but Skivington is a much better all round player offers more than just the line out.

[kingol22]

Deacon brings a lot more to the team than skivington

[Wayne Richardson Fan Club]

I bring more to the team than Skivington.
