Figure image
Lewis Moody will make his 50th Heineken Cup appearance when Leicester Tigers begin their European campaign against Ospreys at Welford Road on Sunday (kick-off 12.45pm).

Flanker Moody has been named in the Tigers back row, while Marcos Ayerza and Julian White return to the Tigers front row after appearing as replacements during last weekend’s Guinness Premiership win over Worcester Warriors. George Chuter is named at hooker.

“In this competition it is about putting yourself up against the best of the best,” said Tigers head coach Richard Cockerill.

“We have had a number of very close encounters with the Ospreys over the last four years and most of those games could have gone either way.

“It’s another big European occasion at Welford Road and one we’re all looking forward to.”

Tickets for Sunday’s game are available now from the Tigers ticket office. Phone 0844 856 1880, book online or call in at Welford Road. The office is open until 5pm tonight, 9am-2pm on Saturday and from 9am on matchday for ticket sales and collections.
