Kick-off in the Aviva Premiership Round 14 tie is at 3pm, with turnstiles, bars and food kiosks open from 1pm.

The rugby action begins at 1.15pm with under-10s teams in the semi-finals of the Prima Tiger Cup. As well as the Tigers versus London Welsh match, we’ll have TV coverage from the Six Nations throughout the afternoon, with Martin Castrogiovanni’s Italy against Scotland from 2.30pm and France versus Wales at 5pm.

The Junior Tigers Club VIP Area will be open from 1pm up to kick-off and members will be able to take part in games and activities as well as enjoying the Crusha Milkshake bar, and we’ve got lucky draw opportunities for young supporters to lead out the teams as a matchday mascot or join the Tigers Club parade. One of the Tigers players will be calling in too.
