Figure image
Leicester Tigers make three changes to the starting line-up for Saturday's European Champions Cup match against Munster Rugby on Saturday.

After defeat at Thomond Park last week, Tigers welcome Munster to Welford Road in Pool 1 and include Jack Roberts, Pat Cilliers and Luke Hamilton in the team.
 
Roberts, who made his European Cup debut as a replacement last weekend, comes into the team at centre, with Owen Williams moving to fly-half after injury to Freddie Burns.
 
Director of rugby Richard Cockerill names South Africa international Cilliers at tighthead, with Hamilton in the back row alongside Brendon O’Connor and Lachlan McCaffrey.
 
There is also a return among the replacements for Mike Williams after his recovery from injury.
 
Tickets for Saturday’s game are still available from the Tigers ticket office. Book in person at Welford Road, phone 0116 319 8888 (option 2) or online by clicking here.
