After victories in the opening two fixtures in Pool 3, against The Ospreys at home and Benetton Treviso away, Tigers lock horns with Perpignan in back-to-back clashes just eight days apart.
Two-time European champions Leicester enjoy home advantage first this Saturday (5.30pm kick-off) before travelling to the south of France for the return match.
Perpignan, who now welcome All Blacks fly-half Dan Carter to their squad after his starring role in the autumn internationals, moved up to the third in France’s Top 14 after a ninth win in their first 12 fixtures last weekend.
European competition has produced a series of thrillers at Welford Road over the years, including a number of classic encounters with French opposition.
The last-gasp win over Stade Francais in 2005/06 when Tigers scored two tries in the last six minutes of the match was one such occasion, and then there was the quarter-final win over the same opponents on an electric afternoon at Welford Road in 2006/07 and the hard-earned victory over three-time winners Toulouse last season.
Don’t miss out on another potential classic. To reserve your place, contact the Tigers ticket office now on 08701 28 34 30, book online or call in at Welford Road.
