KEY STATS
Both teams can hardly be separated on the Premiership tally when it comes to carries per game, with Michael Cheika's team averaging only 117 per match versus 118 for Steve Diamond's team. Only 44m per match separates the teams, in metres made, with Leicester averaging 357m to Newcastle's 313m.
