The international trio missed last weekend’s bonus-point win over London Wasps but are fit to resume their places in the starting line-up.
Thomas Waldrom starts in the back row and Steve Mafi, who returned from injury with 40 minutes in the home win over Wasps, switches to the second row. Matt Smith is given a starting spot on the wing.
Club captain Geordan Murphy and Dan Bowden are selected among the replacements for the penultimate league match of the season.
Director of rugby Richard Cockerill says: “We had a good win last week but the job is not done yet. We need the points to secure a home game in the semi-finals, and Bath are also chasing the wins they need to book a place in Europe next season so it will be a big occasion.”
The Recreation Ground fixture is already a sell-out.
Saturday’s match will be shown live on ESPN.
Tigers will wear the Baltic blue alternate kit for this fixture.
