Tigers Academy will be looking to bounce back from the recent defeat against Northampton when they take on Bath at Oval Park on Saturday afternoon (kick-off 2pm).
Since the reverse fixture against the West Country side was abandoned after an injury to prop Adam Parkins back in September, Tigers have recorded four wins in their seven full fixtures, including an impressive victory against Clermont Auvergne during October's tour of France.
