CHAMPIONS CUP LEICESTER v LEINSTER

(TODAY: Welford Road, 5.30pm, BT Sport 2) LEICESTER are fully loaded for their first

Champions Cup quarter-final in six years. England’s Freddie Steward, George Ford, Ben Youngs, Ellis Genge and Ollie Chessum all start. This should be a humdinger of a European clash with Leinster chock-ablock with Ireland internatio­nals. Their internatio­nal lock James Ryan is back fit.

PREDICTION: Away win.

RACING 92 v SALE (TOMORROW: La Defense Arena, 3pm, BT Sport 2/Channel 4)

MANU TUILAGI is firing on all cylinders but he will have to be at his best if Sale are to shock Racing in their own backyard. Tuilagi starts at centre in a strong Sharks side. AJ MacGinty is back at 10 and Alex Sanderson can call on four finalists from the last World Cup in his XV. Even so, Racing will likely be too strong with Finn Russell guiding their ship. PREDICTION: Home win.
