Jamie Blamire, Archie van der Flier and Finn Carnduff all return for Leicester Tigers

Jamie Blamire, Archie van der Flier and Finn Carnduff all return from injury as Geoff Parling names his side ahead of the Slater Cup clash at Mattioli Woods Welford Road tomorrow night.

In all, there are five changes to the side that beat Newcastle Red Bulls last weekend ahead of round three of the PREM.

Freddie Steward retains his place at fullback, flanked by Ollie Hassell-Collins to the left as Gabriel Hamer-Webb switches to the right flank. Adam Radwan is rotated to the replacements.

In the centre, Will Wand comes in for his first start of the PREM campaign at 13, with Orlando Bailey once again at inside centre.

Billy Searle, who scored a crucial nine points from the tee in the victory at Kingston Park, is once again joined by Captain Jack van Poortvliet at halfback.

Blamire, Van der Flier and Carnduff all join the front five alongside internationals Cameron Henderson and Joe Heyes.

The backrow remains unchanged for the third consecutive fixture, as Tommy Reffell, Olly Cracknell and Aaron Wainwright line up together.

Parling commented, "It’s great to welcome back Archie (van der Flier), Blam (Jamie Blamire) and Finn (Carnduff) into the team, and are looking forward to their impact against a Gloucester side that looks like they've gone back to playing how they were a few seasons ago."

"With the importance of the Slater Cup we know we’ll have to lay all of our emotion out on the pitch, and look forward to doing it in front of our fans."
