Sam Vesty, Harry Ellis and Billy Twelvetrees return from injury to play in the Premier Rugby A League fixture against Sale Jets at Welford Road this evening.

Last season’s Players’ Player of the Year, Vesty makes his first appearance of the campaign following a hamstring injury, while Ellis has not played since September and Twelvetrees made his last appearance in the Heineken Cup win in Viadana during October.

The Tigers team also includes Matt Smith, Calum Green, Dan Hemingway and skipper Ben Pienaar.

Tigers won three of their opening four games in this season’s Development fixtures and sit on top of the Northern Conference table.

Season ticket holders are entitled to free admission to ‘A’ League fixtures on production of their season ticket card, while all other supporters can claim free entry by completing the voucher available to download here and handing it in on the gate.
