Figure image
Leicester Tigers Development XV will be hoping to build on their victory away to Saracens last week in this evening’s Guinness A League match against Sale Jets at Welford Road (7pm).

Team captain Mefin Davies is joined by Boris Stankovich and Santiago Bonorino in an experienced front row, while Brett Deacon also brings experience to the back row. Sam Vesty is named at fly-half, while Ayoola Erinle and Tom Youngs team up at centre.

Sale have included Scotland international back row Jason White in their team as he makes his return from injury, and former Tigers Academy player Alex Shaw is named in the second row. Another former Tigers player, centre Andy Tuilagi, is also included after his summer move from Leeds Carnegie.

Season ticket holders are admitted for free on production of their season ticket book, while all other supporters can claim free admission by completing a voucher which is available to download on the Tigers club website.
