Leicester Bring Their Heavy Hitters

Leicester Tigers captain Geordan Murphy heads up a strong Tigers squad that opens their Irish tour with a game against Munster at Musgrave Park tommorrow night.

It includes all those, such as former Munster 10 Jeremy Staunton, involved in Leicester's 54-17 win over Nottingham at Meadow Lane last Friday, when the English champions ran in eight tries

Lee Robinson, signed this season from Bristol led the way with a hat-trick of scores as a second half replacement and their other tries came from Thomas Waldrom, Horacio Agulla, Alesana Tuilagi, James Grindal and Matt Everard all of whom are in the travelling party for tomorrow evening's game.

Dan Hipkiss, scorer of the title winning try against Saracens last season, did not feature in that Nottingham game, nor did the likes of Murphy, Toby Flood, Craig Newby, Tom Croft or Marcos Ayerza which means supporters tomorrow would see Tigers leading lights in action at Musgrave Park.

Munster conduct their Captain's Run in Thomond Park Stadium this morning with the starting XV and replacements expected to be named before lunchtime.
