Ben Youngs urges the Leicester Tigers fans to create a passionate atmosphere when they host Harlequins on Saturday.

Leicester Tigers scrum-half Ben Youngs has urged his side's fans to give them the advantage when they face Harlequins in the Aviva Premiership semi-finals.

The Tigers have home advantage against the reigning champions, with the two teams preparing to clash on Saturday at Welford Road.

Quins have already beaten Leicester both home and away in the league this season, and Youngs has encouraged the club's supporters to help the side avoid a third straight loss.

"It's a semi-final at Welford Road and I hope the crowd are loud and brilliant like they were against Toulouse," Youngs told Sky Sports News.

"They play a huge part in what we do and we want them to make Leicester an intimidating place to come.

"We will draw confidence from being at home because we love it. It should be a cracking game."

The winner of the tie will meet either Saracens or Northampton Saints at Twickenham in the final.
