And we're underway. Leicester clear early and Irish have the first line out.

The sides make their way out. Kick off coming shortly.

Good afternoon and welcome to Ultimate Rugby's live coverage of this Premiership meeting as Leicester Tigers host London Irish at Welford Road. The Tigers suffered their largest ever premiership defeat at the hands of Bath where they left scoreless. Today serves as an opportunity to regain their form and with an impressive home record at Welford Road they will present a stern challenge for the visitors today. Irish fell painfully short last week after losing to Saracens due to a late Vunipola try. They have one victory to their name this season and will be looking for a big away win today. Leicester have won the previous 10 meetings of the two sides. A big game coming up so stay tuned for updates throughout.
