It is expected that the Aviva Premiership Champions Leicester Tigers are to name a full-strength side.
The match could well be a great battle for the (newly) full time JRFC and we nee dthe fans there en masse. Get phoning around for a great day out.
Six new players will be in the starting line-up for JRFC, including lock forward Rae who is hoping to lead the team to victory. There will be further seven new players on the replacements bench including two recent local signings; Luke Stratford and Jack Burroughs. Both of whom have progressed though the JRFC Academy.
Forward and Defence coach Steve Boden said: "It's a huge game for the Club, by the sounds of it Tigers will have their first choice fifteen out and will be going out to destroy us.
"But mark my words we will be doing exactly the same. Last year was amazing, there's going to be a massive crowd and the atmosphere will be electric up here."
Tickets are still available in all of the usual spots, but it is advised at this late stage that there will be plenty of tickets available on match day at both entrance gates.
