In fairness the coach’s attempts to keep the lid on the hype have evidently worked, given this is the first season any side has topped the table after every round but, approaching Saturday’s Premiership semi-finals, there is no escaping the expectation on Leicester to deliver.
Steve Borthwick has named the Leicester Tigers matchday squad for Saturday’s Premiership semi-final against Northampton Saints at Welford Road with Julian Montoya returning to action for the first time in more than a month.
