The matchday squad for the first home game of the Premiership Women's Rugby season has been named.
Tom Hudson welcomes back six Test stars for Sunday's clash with Harlequins at Mattioli Woods Welford Road following this season's WXV tournaments.
Leah Bartlett, Catha Jacobs and Julia Omokhuale have been named to start, while Eva Donaldson, Tess Feury and Francesca McGhie are included among the replacements.
No.8 Charlotte Fray captains the side for the first time, a team which includes nine changes from the team that were defeated away to Exeter Chiefs in Round 2.
Speaking ahead of the game, Hudson said: "We can't wait to be home, especially as part of what should be a terrific double header in front of a big Tigers crowd."
"We're excited to welcome a number of our international stars back. The enthusiasm and commitment they have brought back has given everyone a lift and we look forward to them representing Leicester Tigers once again."
Sunday's fixture is part of the first Double Header of Season 24/25, kicking off at 5.45pm after the Gallagher Premiership game against Gloucester Rugby for Michael Cheika's team.
