Leeds's Anglo-Welsh Cup Group game with Leicester Tigers in November looks set to be re-arranged.

The clubs were to meet at Headingley over the weekend of November 6/7/8, but the Tigers have now arranged a friendly with World Champions South Africa.

The Tigers have asked for the game with Leeds to be moved because they plan to play a full-strength XV against the Springboks on the 5/6 November

The game will celebrate the opening of a new stand at Welford Road.

Meanwhile Leeds' dates for their first four European Challenge Cup games have been confirmed.

The West Yorkshire outfit will travel to last season's runners-up Bourgoin on Friday, 9 October, before hosting Overmach Rugby Parma on Sunday, 18 October.

Leeds will go to Buceresti Oaks on Saturday, 12 December, with the return fixture on Sunday, 20 December.

BBC Radio Leeds will have full match commentary of every Leeds Guinness Premiership game and Anglo-Welsh Cup matches, plus home European games.
