Scott Steele aims to add his happy memories of playing at the Recreation Ground when Leicester Tigers run out for the JP Morgan Premiership Rugby 7s finals.

Steele was part of the Tigers squad that won the LV= Cup semi-final at the home of Bath Rugby in 2012.

The scrum-half came off the bench at The Rec for his first appearance in the LV= Cup as Tigers secured a 17-16 victory on their way to winning the Anglo-Welsh competition.

Steele, who captains the Tigers team, says: “I managed to get off the bench for Tigers against Bath in the semi-final of the LV= Cup there and we managed to go through.

“I’ve got some good memories of playing there. It is a really good pitch and I’m looking forward to playing there again.”

He adds: I just want more of the same for us and if we go out there, and play with a bit of freedom, we might be able to get a few wins but let's see how it goes.”

Steele will come up against former Tigers back-rower Richard De Carpentier, when Tigers and Worcester Warriors meet in the opening game.

"I get on with a lot of the boys at Leicester well and it will be good to see a few friendly faces again,” de Carpentier says

"They didn't have a great history in the tournament either as they usually take a lot of younger lads but we will see what team they bring on Friday and hopefully we can both be competitive."
