Falcons aiming to extend safety net

The bottom two clash at Kinston Park on Monday with Leeds desperate for a boost in their pursuit of the rest going into the New Year.

Originally fixed for Boxing Day, this clash will now go ahead on Monday, December 27 with Leeds seven points behind Newcastle at the foot of the table and needing to start picking up victories if they are to reel-in those ahead of them in the standings. And they may not get a better chance, with the Falcons having one just once in their last seven Aviva Premiership outings.

The Falcons' last home game was moved to Galashiels in Scotland, when they grabbed a last-gasp victory over Exeter in the Amlin Challenge Cup. And the continued freezing conditions at Kingston Park led to this match being delayed by 24 hours to Monday afternoon.

Newcastle - Player to Watch: Alan Tait will be hoping new signing Euan Murray can have an impact up front after joining from Northampton. At his best, the Scotland and Lions prop is a destructive scrummager and the struggling Falcons need tome impetus.

Newcastle - Team News: The Boxing Day postponement frees up Euan Murray to make his Falcons debut in the front row, while Micky Young returns to the side after a spell on the sideline and Jason Spice starts on the bench.

Leeds - Player to Watch: Hendrie Fourie's ball winning skills will be key for Neil Back's men if they are secure their first win of the season against their closest rivals at the foot of the table..

Leeds - Team News: Steve Thompson and Hendrie Fourie return to the Leeds fold, Gareth Hardy and Phil Swainston will start in the front row alongside England hooker Thompson whilst Lachlan MacKay starts at fly-half and Ceiron Thomas reverts to full back.

Key Battle: Relegation battles are rarely pretty and it will be the coolest scrum-half who can get their side moving. Warren Fury and Micky Young will do battle for control of the game, their packs will help but their backlines will thank them for clean ball.

Tom Prydie and Mathew Morgan play at full-back and fly-half respectively in the first regional Ospreys game to be staged at the Bridgend ground.

Leicester wings Lee Robinson and Will Hurrell will make their first starts of the season.

Tigers also include ex-Ospreys and Blues scrum-half Jason Spice, who is on loan at Welford Road.

Ospreys forwards coach Jonathan Humphreys said:
"It promises to be an excellent occasion on Friday night, Leicester Tigers at the Brewery Field, it has all the ingredients for a memorable evening.

"As someone who is from the Bridgend area, I think it's fantastic that we've taken the game there.

"It's a district that is a vitally important to the region, with a fantastic track record of player development, and we've worked hard over the last few years since they came into our region to make the rugby community there feel a part of what we are trying to do.

"I think that by playing this game there, we are providing further evidence of our commitment to Bridgend.

Leicester director of rugby Richard Cockerill said:
"This is a good opportunity for some of those younger guys to play for the first team in a tough away game in Wales. It'll be a good test for the guys, they will learn from it and benefit from the experience.

"We've also got some older guys in there who need some game-time and they'll be keen to make the most of their opportunity.

Ospreys vs Tigers line-ups For Friday

Wings Lee Robinson and Will Hurrell will make their first starts of the season when Leicester Tigers face the Ospreys in the LV= Cup tie at Bridgend on Friday.

Preparing for a third fixture in seven days, Tigers director of rugby Richard Cockerill includes summer signing Robinson and England Under-20 international Hurrell, while 20-year-old prop Camilo Parilli-Ocampo makes his Tigers debut.

London-born Parilli-Ocampo has gained Development XV experience this season and has travelled with the senior team on league duty to gain experience in that environment.

On-loan scrum-half Jason Spice, who enjoyed spells in Wales with Cardiff Blues and the Ospreys, joins England international centre Dan Hipkiss, hooker Rob Hawkins and Robinson in providing the experienced core of the Tigers line-up, while Ben Pienaar leads out the side as captain.

Andy Forsyth, Dan Hemingway and Tom Armes, who have been playing Championship rugby with Nottingham, are brought into a squad which also includes full-back Alex Lewington and prop Ryan Bower who were involved in LV= Cup rugby last season.

Scrum-half Sam Harrison is among the replacements on his return from injury. The bench also includes Academy prop Fraser Balmain, flanker Matt Everard and young backs Rory Lynn and Stephen Macaulay.

"All of these guys want an opportunity to show what they can do and this is a chance for us to see what they offer," said Cockerill.

"We have to look at the whole squad and manage that, but this is a good opportunity for some of those younger guys to play for the first team in a tough away game in Wales. It'll be a good test for the guys, they will learn from it and benefit from the experience.

"We've also got some older guys in there who need some game-time and they'll be keen to make the most of their opportunity."

Tigers have made only one previous trip to Bridgend in their 130-year history. Peter Wheeler, Garry Adey and Bob Barker were the try-scorers in a 20-12 defeat there in January 1972. Bleddyn Jones, who will be in Wales on Friday as commentator for BBC Radio Leicester, was also in the Tigers XV that day.

The hosts, who will be captained by former Tigers hooker Mefin Davies, report ticket sales of more than 5,000 for their first game in Bridgend. Tickets will remain on sale up to kick-off, or phone the Live TV Hotline on 21.00$ or book online at www.OspreysvsTigerslive.com
