Leicester Tigers welcome back four international stars for their clash against rivals Bath this afternoon (12.30).

Martin Castrogiovanni and Marcos Ayerza both return to add some much-needed experience to Tigers' front row.

They replace the young duo of Fraser Balmain and Johnny Harris, who are both included among the replacements.

England's Anthony Allen and Thomas Waldrom both return to Tigers' starting line-up, at centre and No.8 respectively.

With the injured Steve Mafi still sidelined, it gives captain Louis Deacon and brother Brett the chance to start a first-team game together for the first time since January 2010.

Mat Tait continues his run of games at full-back, while the returning Geordan Murphy brings some invaluable strength and experience to the replacements.

Toby Flood, Logovi'i Mulipola, Wessel Jooste, Vereniki Goneva, Miles Benjamin and Tom Croft are still out with injuries, while Boris Stankovich is suspended.

Tigers are also without Dan Cole, Tom and Ben Youngs, Manu Tuilagi and Geoff Parling, who are in the England squad for today's autumn international against New Zealand.

Bath welcome back former Tiger Horacio Agulla, Paul James and Francois Louw from international duty, while Tom Biggs has been released from England duty.
