A semi-final place is for up for grabs as Leicester Tigers host Newcastle Falcons in the LV= Cup at Welford Road this Saturday (3pm). This match is included in season tickets, and match tickets are available now for all other supporters.

Tigers include 11 senior internationals in the matchday squad for Saturday as they chase the victory which would book a place in the semi-finals of the LV= Cup.

Welford Road visitors Newcastle Falcons can also book their own place in the knockout stages with a win so the scene is set for an intriguing cup encounter.

The Tigers line-up includes Horacio Agulla, Marcos Ayerza, George Chuter and Julian White, with Craig Newby and Toby Flood also included in the 23-man squad.

All turnstiles, bars and food outlets at Welford Road, including the Final Whistle, are open from 1.00pm.

Pick up a free flag with any replica shirt or infant kit purchase in the Club Store. There are also merchandise units outside the ticket office and on the ground floor of the Caterpillar Stand.
