Preview | Leinster v Leicester

Figure image

Knockout rugby – there’s nothing like it. Leicester Tigers look to turn back-to-back finalists Leinster on their home turf in tomorrow night’s Investec Champions Cup Round of 16 clash at Aviva Stadium in Dublin.

Feeling some déjà vu? You could be forgiven. Leicester faced Leinster in this competition’s playoff phase the past two seasons – and earlier this season in the final pool game.

Leinster have been deserved winners in all those contests, but this year’s bout should give Tigers supporters enough belief to make their voices heard Lansdowne Road. vc

TEAM NEWS

Leinster have some big inclusions off the injury reserve, most notably fullback Hugo Keenan and prop Andrew Porter.
