Waldrom is set to make his first home appearance for Tigers in the final fixture of pre-season against Leinster Rugby on Friday (7.30pm).
The Kiwi, signed from Crusaders in the summer, has been named at No8 in the team to face the 2009 Heineken Cup winners.
He trained at Welford Road for the first time earlier this week and said: “I really enjoyed it.
“It was good to be out there and get a feel. You can just see that when it is full the atmosphere here will be fantastic.
“Running out with the crowd right next to you and packed out, I think it is going to be special.
“It will be good to have a run out on Friday and get a taste of what it is like to have a home crowd here supporting us. It should be good.”
Entry to the game is free for season ticket holders on production of their season ticket card. Tickets are still available for all other supporters, price £10 adults, £5 juniors, £25 family (2 adults, 2 children). The ticket office is open 8.30-5pm weekdays, or phone the hotline on 0844 856 1880 or book online by clicking here
