Leicester Tigers team to face Montpellier in Heineken Cup: Niall Morris and Thomas Waldrom to return

Leicester Tigers welcome back winger Niall Morris and No.8 Thomas Waldrom for the Heineken Cup clash with Montpellier in France on Sunday. Morris, having recovered from a quad injury, replaces Adam Thompstone, while Waldrom will start in the forward pack with Jordan Crane on the replacements bench. Tigers are also boosted by the return of centre Matt Smith. He will be on the bench after shaking off a hamstring injury sustained at the end of November in the Aviva Premiership win over London Irish. Tigers will face a much-changed Montpellier starting line-up in the pool five game. Only skipper Mamuka Gorgodze remains from the side which started last week's game at Welford Road, where Tigers emerged 41-32 winners.
