Croft back for Tigers–team news vs Worcester
Leicester Tigers welcome back Tom Croft for his first appearance of the season in Friday’s Aviva Premiership Round 13 match away to Worcester Warriors.
Back-rower Croft returns after recovery from a neck injury suffered last season and joins fit-again Steve Mafi and Thomas Waldrom in the Tigers back row for the opening Aviva Premiership fixture of the new year at Sixways. Rob Hawkins is joined by Logovi’i Mulipola and Martin Castrogiovanni in the front row.
Mathew Tait returns at full-back, and there are starting places for Scott Hamilton, Matt Smith and Dan Bowden in the backline, with Toby Flood and Ben Youngs at half-back.
Warriors expect to welcome their biggest crowd of the season so far for Friday’s fixture as they defend an unbeaten home record stretching back to September.
