Wayne Barnes will take charge of Leicester Tigers’ fixture away to Bath Rugby this Saturday (January 25, 3.00pm) as they return to action in the Gallagher Premiership.
The match will be Barnes’ 221st Premiership game, and sees him assisted by Christophe Ridley and Paul Dix from the Recreation Ground touchlines.
David Grashoff will undertake Television Match Official duties, while David Guyan is named as citing officer.
Barnes – considered the league’s most experienced referee – last took charge of a Tigers fixture in Round 21 of last season’s Gallagher Premiership, away to Harlequins at Twickenham Stoop.
