Not too many changes for once as we take on the once mighty Tigers in their own lair for a terribly rare 3.00 Saturday kick off.

It's a Six Nations rest weekend, of course, so we will see Will Rowlands returns from the Waless camp to hunker down with James Gaskell, while Ben Vellacott starts at 9 in place of the injured Sam Wolstenholme. To provide cover loanee Alex Schwarz makes his  debut on the bench. 

Wasps: 15 Matteo Minozzi 14 Zach Kibirige 13 Malakai Fekitoa 12 Jimmy Gopperth 11 Josh Bassett 10 Charlie Atkinson 9 Ben Vellacott  1 Tom West 2 Tommy Taylor 

3 Kieran Brookes 4 Will Rowlands 5 James Gaskell 6 Brad Shields (captain) 7 Ben Morris 8 Tom Willis. 

Reps: Tom Cruse, Ben Harris,Jeff Toomaga-Allen, Levi Douglas, Sione Vailanu,Alex Schwarz, Jacob Umaga, Michael Le Bourgeois.

Tigers are also struggling for consistency managing fouir wins so far, which sees them firmly in the botton half of the table.

Leicester: 15 Freddie Steward  14 Kobus Van Wyk 13 Matías Moroni 12 Matt Scott 11 Kini Murimurivalu 10 Zack Henry 9 Richard Wigglesworth (captain) 1 Luan de Bruin 2 Julián Montoya  3 Dan Cole 4 Calum Green 5 Tomás Lavanini 6 Hanro Liebenberg 7 Cyle Brink 8 Jasper Wiese

It's a youthful Tigers with a lot of new faces, but there are some great talents in there, they are getting better as a unit, last weeks side was very much a rotation squad, this is much closer to our best side, given we have some away for Internationals. Some good pacey finishers to come on too.

Phew - you had me worried. I read "Off to Tigers..', opened it and there was a picture of Gaskell, so I though 'Oh no he's signed for them!'
