\"Craig Newby’s Leicester side currently sit top of the Premiership table<\/span> <\/p>\n

Leicester captain Craig Newby believes his side can win the Premiership title.<\/p>\n

The Tigers’ play-off semi-final has been confirmed for Saturday, 14 May at Welford Road where they look likely to face either Gloucester or Northampton.<\/p>\n

He told BBC Radio Leicester: “We set high standards. I wouldn’t say it’s being arrogant to say we want to win the Premiership.<\/p>\n

“I’m sure the other three teams that make the play-offs won’t just be happy with a semi-final as well.”<\/p>\n

And Newby warned against complacency going into the final league game of the season against London Irish.<\/p>\n

The Exiles’ hopes of a play-off place were ended by a 26-20 defeat by Northampton<\/a> at the Madejski Stadium on Saturday.<\/p>\n

“Its not going to be easy,” Newby continued. “We’ve got a lot of work to do and we’ve got a little bit of time to sharpen up before Irish, who are dangerous.<\/p>\n

“We’ve got some good training staff and they’ll know how hard we should be training and what we need to work on so we’ll trust them.”<\/p>\n

Leicester guaranteed a home semi-final tie after a 24-13 win against Newcastle<\/a> at Kingston Park on Good Friday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
