Gloucester take on Tigers as we return to Prem rugby with the opportunity to forget last week's 55-17 defeat in Bayonne. There's a lot at stake (Saturday kick off 3.05) as a win for the Cherry and Whites will take them above the visitors and into the play-off zone.
It's also a notable game for Chris Harris as he will notch up his 100th appearance partnering Seb Atkinson in midfield.
Arthur Clark won't be able to celebrate his new contract - he is away with England as preparations begin for the Six Nations. So, Cam Jordan will partner Freddie Thomas in the second row with Jack Clement, Ruan Ackermann and Lewis Ludlow behind them.
Tomos Williams and Gareth Anscombe resume their half-back pairing with back three of Max Llewellyn, Christian Wade and Santi Carreras.
It promises to be a cracker.
