As the Guinness Six Nations draws to an end for another year, Leicester Tigers take on Munster Rugby at Mattioli Woods Welford Road looking to get their engine warm for the return of the race that is the Gallagher Premiership run-in. 

The history between the two sides is written in folklore, the respect is mutual, and with the likes of Handré Pollard and Julián Montoya in Tigers ranks, it's hard to describe this fixture as a friendly.
