Michael Cheika has named the Leicester Tigers matchday squad for Saturday’s game against Newcastle Falcons at Mattioli Woods Welford Road.
The Head Coach has made three changes to the starting side from the team’s last outing, away to Bath Rugby, for what will be the final game of the 24/25 regular season.
Dan Cole, who confirmed earlier this week that this will be his final season of professional rugby, starts at tight-head prop, which sees Joe Heyes named among the replacements.
Scrum-half Ben Youngs, who will also finish at the conclusion of the current campaign, joins Cole in the starting side, shifting Jack van Poortvliet to the bench.
In the back three, Josh Bassett is included on the wing in place of Adam Radwan.
On the bench, as well as Heyes and van Poortvliet, Cheika has made two changes with the inclusion of Ben Volavola and Mike Brown.
