Director of rugby Richard Cockerill makes three changes to the starting line-up from last Saturday with Miles Benjamin called in on the wing, Dan Bowden at centre and Geoff Parling resuming his place in the second row.
Benjamin makes his Tigers debut after a successful return from injury and starts in place of Blaine Scully who took a heavy knock in the match against Northampton Saints last weekend. Bowden replaces Anthony Allen who has an ankle injury and Parling has recovered from injury to join Louis Deacon at lock with Graham Kitchener among the replacements.
Former Waratahs centre Terrence Hepetema receives a first call-up to the matchday squad and is named among the replacements.
Allen and Scully join Manu Tuilagi, Matt Smith, Tom Croft, Steve Mafi, Mathew Tait, Rob Hawkins, Ryan Lamb and Scott Hamilton on the sidelines this week, while Marcos Ayerza is still in Argentina.
Friday's match has already been declared a sell-out at Ravenhill. There is live coverage on Sky Sports 1.
