Ellis takes Tigers opportunity

HARRY ELLIS is ready to resume his ride on rugby’s “roller-coaster” when Leicester meet Bath in today’s Heineken Cup quarter-final.

Ellis has not always been the Tigers’ first choice scrum-half this season, yet is finishing it as England’s preferred option in the position and with a Lions tour in his sights.

A dangerous tackle on New Zealand’s Dan Carter in December left him watching six weeks of Leicester’s campaign from the sidelines.
