Leicester Tigers, after a short winter break, are preparing to overcome their recent successive defeats in Premiership Rugby. The team has been diligent in their preparations, despite the festive period. Head Coach Tom Hudson expressed his team's readiness, highlighting the squad's exemplary handling of the coaching requirements.
The Leicester Tigers will see key players return to the lineup, including Meg Jones and Francesca McGhie in the backs, and captain Roisin McBrien moving to No. 8. Katie Childs will start at flanker for the first time in a Leicester Tigers jersey, marking her 40th appearance for the team. Additionally, Tiana Gordon and USA international Keia Mae Sagapolu Sanele will return to the bench.
Harlequins, who are in winning form with six consecutive victories, will present a strong challenge. They boast significant pack strength, having scored the most maul tries this season and maintaining a high scrum success rate. The match will feature a compelling clash between the two teams' backlines, particularly between Meg Jones and Ellie Kildunne, known for their game-breaking moments.
The statistical battle between the teams is also noteworthy, with Harlequins making an average of 161 carries per 80 minutes and Leicester Tigers having the best scrum success rate in the league at 96.3%.
