Figure image
Mathew Tait and Andy Forsyth return to Leicester Tigers action after injury in the Aviva Premiership 'A' League fixture against Worcester at Welford Road this evening (7.30pm).

England international Tait has not played since the opening weeks of last season due to a groin injury, while centre Forsyth also missed the conclusion of the 2011/12 campaign.

Tait, 26, lines up at full-back in a Development XV which will again be led by fly-half Matt Cornwell.

Fraser Balmain, who made his Aviva Premiership debut in the closing stages of Saturday’s win over Exeter Chiefs, is joined in the front row by Kieran Brookes and England Under-18 hooker Harry Thacker.

Admission to this evening’s game is free on production of your Tigers season ticket card. Season ticket holders will also have received email vouchers to invite friends and family. Entry for all other supporters is £5 adults, £1 juniors payable at the ticket office on your way to the game. All supporters will be accommodated in the Holland & Barrett Stand.
