Leicester Tigers kick off a vital phase in the Aviva Premiership season with a home game against Gloucester Rugby this Saturday. Kick-off at Welford Road is at 3pm. Here is our guide to what the day has in store.
Tigers and Gloucester are separated by just three points in the league table at the start of Round 14, giving an extra edge to Saturday’s encounter between two old rivals.
You can enjoy a rugby double header too with the Tigers match followed by coverage of Wales against England in the Six Nations on the plaza at 4.50pm.
