A-Team to face Leicester Tigers
The 1pm kick-off at Loughborough University sees the Falcons looking to extend a record of five wins from their six games so far, following last weekend’s 59-27 triumph over Wasps.
Joel Matavesi comes in at fly-half, Trevor Davison bolstering the front row in a pack which sees one of last weekend’s try-scorers, Connor Collett, continuing on the open-side flank.
