Let's party like Vardy! Leicester Tigers seek to emulate Foxes' FA Cup triumph by beating French heavyweights Montpellier in the European Challenge Cup final on Friday night

Leicester's Tigers will take inspiration from the city’s footballing Foxes when they seek to upset the odds by beating French heavyweights Montpellier in the European Challenge Cup final on Friday night.

Steve Borthwick’s side are up against formidable opponents at Twickenham, but will strive to claim a trophy in front of thousands of their fans, just as their counterparts and their talisman Jamie Vardy did at another national stadium — Wembley — six days ago.

‘We as Leicester Tigers were unbelievably proud of what Leicester City did in the FA Cup,’ said England fly-half George Ford.
