JDV hasn't been declared fit has he..? so surely the scarlet springbok will remain absent once more...

He's fully training this week according to RL.

Well I never

[G.K]

Those water boys have to be quite fit you know

[LE18]

Think I would make a few changes,

Ayerza
Bateman
Muli. Strong front row.
Barrow
Fitz
McCaffrey
Slater c
O' Connor
Youngs
Williams
Betham
Jdv
Manu
Thompstone
Vieanu

If JDV not fit then Betham in centre and Goneva on wing, would not include Burns, he had a very bad kicking day away at Glocs.

[Bunchy]

JDV not fit.... still rehabbing...

SALTS

I use SALTS - smiled a little then stopped - rather than LOL. It's more accurate.

[wellstiger]

I see Sharples is out for the rest of the season, he could have actually caused problems on Saturday. All we need now is for 22 other calamities to befall Glaws and we're home dry.

To those of you who will not be at the game or those who pre record on B.T, What's the betting more will be made of these abscentees and the form of TIGERS rather than our abscentees.
Got to be a 5 pointer. Surley ?????

Although JDV is "fit" for selection, maybe this doesn't actually make him "available" for selection.

[Lammy]

A little surprised to see Goneva in again!

It had better be an April fools' joke.

Telusa Veainu and Logovi'i Mulipola return to the Leicester Tigers line-up for Saturday's home game against Gloucester Rugby in Round 19 of the Aviva Premiership Rugby season. Kick-off is at 3.15pm.

Tonga international Veainu starts at full-back, with Adam Thompstone selected on the wing after sitting out last week's trip to Sale Sharks.

Mulipola returns to the front row after a one-match ban while club captain Ed Slater is at No8 and Lachlan McCaffrey is included again after missing the match at Sale.

Owen Williams is at fly-half alongside Ben Youngs, with Freddie Burns among the replacements.

Openside flanker Brendon O'Connor is included among the replacements after an absence due to a hamstring injury.

Tickets for Saturday's game are still available from the Tigers ticket office. Book in person at Welford Road or phone 0116 319 8888, the office is open 9am-5pm Monday-Saturday. Or book online any time.

Good to see McCaffrey, Betham and Veainu start. With Sharples and May out, Thompstone and Goneva might just have a field day (assuming the little chat with Cockers has sunk in!)

Got 5 points all over it!
