Strong Irish presence for Leicester team

Full-back Geordan Murphy, openside Shane Jennings and scrum-half Frank Murphy will provide a distinctly Irish flavour to the Leicester Tigers side to play London Wasps in the Heineken Cup final at Twickenham on Sunday.

Another Irishman, Ian Humphreys, normally a fly-half, will provide scrum-half cover on the bench with his fellow Irishman Frank Murphy continuing in the number nine shirt after Harry Ellis suffered a season-ending knee injury two weeks ago.

Second row Leo Cullen is also on the bench.

LEICESTER TIGERS (v London Wasps): G Murphy; S Rabeni, D Hipkiss, D Gibson, A Tuilagi; A Goode, F Murphy; M Ayerza, G Chuter, J White, L Deacon, B Kay, L Moody, S Jennings, M Corry (capt).

Replacements: J Buckland, A Moreno, L Cullen, B Deacon, I Humphreys, S Vesty, O Smith.
