Michael Cheika has named the Leicester Tigers matchday squad for Saturday’s away game against Bath Rugby.
Freddie Steward will make his 100th start for the club in the clash with the league leaders, with the 24-year-old becoming the second player to reach the milestone this season after Tommy Reffell did in the away win over Northampton Saints.
The starting side is unchanged from last weekend’s bonus-point victory over Sale Sharks at Mattioli Woods Welford Road, with the lone change to the matchday squad made in the replacements with Will Hurd named in place of Dan Cole.
Hurd and Jamie Shillcock, if used from the bench on Saturday at The Rec, will make their 50th appearances for the club.
