Watch Tigers, England and the All Blacks!

Make a day of it at Welford Road on Saturday by watching all of the Rugby World Cup action as well as the crunch Guinness Premiership match between Leicester Tigers and Gloucester Rugby.

Tigers kick off at 6pm against the only other club with three wins from three games in the league and the scene is set for a tremendous tussle between the sides who battled it out in last season's Guinness Premiership Final at Twickenham.

It is a huge day for rugby and what better place to watch than at Welford Road?

Selected turnstiles will be open from 1pm to allow supporters to watch the Rugby World Cup quarter-final live on TV in the ABC, Tigers and Captains Bars as England - with their Leicester Tigers contingent - face Australia. Food will also be available inside the ground from 1pm.

Then, after watching the showdown between the top two clubs in the Guinness Premiership table, there will be live coverage in the bars around the stadium of the second Rugby World Cup quarter-final between favourites New Zealand and hosts France, kicking off at 8pm.

A 44-16 triumph over Saturday's opponents at Twickenham in May allowed Tigers to become the first winners of the league and cup Double in the professional era, but Gloucester have racked up impressive wins over Leeds Carnegie, Saracens and Worcester Warriors in the opening weeks of the season as they look to go one better this term.

Ticket prices to see Tigers versus Gloucester start from £20 for adults, £18 concession and £8 junior (under-16). For more information or to purchase tickets, contact the Tigers ticket office on 08701 28 34 30.

At Saturday's game, Tigers season ticket holders and members can also pick up a voucher which entitles them and up to four guests to see the opening Guinness A League match of the season, against Leeds Carnegie on Monday, October 29, for free. The vouchers are available for collection from turnstiles at Saturday's game. To gain free entry as a season ticket holder's or member's guest, the back of the voucher must be completed in full.
