Three players who will look to impress this weekend

With Owen Farrell set to return from injury for the Champions Cup semi-final against Clermont Auvergne, Charlie Hodgson will start at outhalf for the crucial Premiership game against Leicester Tigers this weekend. With Hodgson usually playing second fiddle for the number 10 jersey with Farrell, he has the opportunity to put in an impressive performance this weekend and keep his place in the starting line-up for the Clermont game. 

After being one of their top performers in last years European Cup, Giteau will be disappointed to have found himself on the bench for the quarter-final against Wasps. With Mermoz starting ahead of him at inside centre on Sunday Giteau will have the chance to impress when Toulon taking on Grenoble on Saturday. With Bernard Laporte set to start Giteau against Grenoble it will give the former Wallaby the opportunity to show why he should start ahead of Mermoz for the semi-final against Leinster.

After coming of the bench for Ulster against Cardiff in the last round of games in the Pro12, Henry will look to get some more game time against Connacht this weekend. After going under the knife and getting heart surgery in November it was unknown whether Henry would play again this season, but now the flanker will look to get back into the starting XV for Ulster for the final few games and also look to impress Joe Schmidt and secure a place in the World Cup squad.
