“When you play Leicester you need to scrap, it’s how you get out of the game at the end of it.<\/p>\n

“I’m hoping we can get through the game without any injuries and hopefully get points.<\/p>\n

“It’s all about points now and it’ll be a battle. There’ll be some sore bodies afterwards.”<\/p>\n

Leicester director of rugby Richard Cockerill:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Newcastle is a tough trip but we have been very consistent through the season and we want to maintain those high standards.”<\/p>\n

“A couple of the guys have been nursing little niggling injuries and we have to look after ones like Toby Flood and Ben Youngs, who have played a lot of rugby recently, as we did with Craig Newby and Anth Allen last week.”<\/p>\n\n
