“It is an exciting day for everyone involved with Leicester Tigers.”

“The players have worked exceptionally hard all season to consistently improve and compete every week.

“We talk before every game about putting a performance that our supporters, our families and our friends will be proud of and that is the same ahead of Saturday’s game.

“It is an exciting team to go out and represent Leicester Tigers at Twickenham and we will need an 80-minute performance in each position against an experienced side like Saracens, who have world-class players throughout their squad.”
