Jimmy Gopperth and James Gaskell will be looking to end their Wasps' careers in style by beating league leaders Leicester Tigers on their own patch and by doing so achieving European Challenge rugby for their former club.

Irish currently occupy the 8th spot. However, they have played all of their 24 games and will be nervously watching affairs at Welford Road where the home side will want the win to cement top spot ahead of the play-offs.

Goppeth and Gaskell both start with Paolo Odogwu back on the wing and Sam Spink partnering Gopperth in the centre. Skipper Launchury and Gaskell will be in the second row.

The bench could well play a major role with the likes of Alfie Barbeary ready and waiting.

Could be a thriller. Gopperth to get the last minute winning pen?
