Leicester Tigers head coach Steve Borthwick has made 14 changes to his matchday squad for their game against London Irish in the Premiership.
Nemani Nadolo’s first appearance for Tigers will come at Welford Road in the Round 16 clash to be held between two teams yet to win on their return to rugby.
Fellow newcomer to the Leicester backline this summer David Williams slots in on the other wing, while Ben Youngs, Gerge Ford, Matt Scott, Jaco Taute and Freddie Steward all start.
Ellis Genge and Tom Youngs return after missing Saturday’s fixture and are joined in the front-row by fellow international Dan Cole, who came off the bench against Bath at the weekend. For odds on Round 16 take advantage of this bet365 bonus code UK for the Premiership and other sport action.
