Corry returns for Tigers' trip to Quins

Figure image
Tigers captain Martin Corry returns to the side for this Sunday’s Guinness Premiership trip to Harlequins (kick-off 1.15pm).

Corry missed last weekend’s home game against London Irish but has been selected at No8 in a back row that also features Tom Croft and the fit again Lewis Moody.

Fellow internationals Marcos Ayerza, George Chuter and Ben Kay also return to the pack, while backs Geordan Murphy, Ollie Smith and Andy Goode are all recalled to the starting XV.

“We have a lot of respect for Harlequins and we know we will have to play at a very high level if we are to do well,” says Tigers head coach Marcelo Loffreda. “They will be very dangerous. It will be really tough and it is a massive game for us. Everybody knows their coach and he is an excellent coach who was part of Leicester for a long time.

“We have some players recovering from colds and small injuries. We are trying to build a strong team and we have a lot of trust in all our players. The last game we rotated some players and they demonstrated that they are able to play in the first-team. Now we are bringing back some of the players who have played in the first-team for a little bit longer.”
