Figure image
England internationals Martin Corry, Dan Hipkiss, Tom Croft and Jordan Crane return to the Leicester Tigers line-up for Saturday's Guinness Premiership match against Harlequins at Twickenham Stadium (4pm kick-off).

With Ben Kay ruled out by injury, skipper Corry starts in the second row, while England Elite Squad members Hipkiss, Croft and Crane are back in the starting XV after being rested last weekend.

France international Benjamin Kayser comes into the front row, while Scott Hamilton moves to full-back in the absence of the injured Geordan Murphy.

Martin Castrogiovanni and Ben Herring are again included among the replacements after their return from injury in the win over Newcastle Falcons last weekend.

Saturday’s game will be played in front of a sell-out 50,000 crowd, establishing a record for a single Guinness Premiership fixture. No tickets will be available on the day.
