Leicester Tigers welcome back England stars Tom Youngs, Geoff Parling and Tom Croft for tomorrow's Aviva Premiership fixture at Bath. The international trio missed last weekend's bonus-point win over London Wasps but are fit to resume their places in the starting line-up. Thomas Waldrom starts in the back-row and Steve Mafi, who returned from injury with 40 minutes in the home win over Wasps, switches to the second-row. Matt Smith is given a starting spot on the wing. Interestingly, there is no place among the replacements for George Ford, who is set to be unveiled as a Bath player very soon. Club captain Geordan Murphy and Dan Bowden are selected among the replacements for the penultimate league match of the season. Director of rugby Richard Cockerill says: "We had a good win last week but the job is not done yet. We need the points to secure a home game in the semi-finals, and Bath are also chasing the wins they need to book a place in Europe next season so it will be a big occasion."
