Southern hemisphere internationals Justin Marshall, Ben Tune and Cobus Visagie will also be involved in what is sure to be an exciting spectacle.
The Springboks celebrate 100 years of rugby tours and, fittingly, one of their original tourists will be represented by an international rugby descendant.
Full-back Thinus Delport, who played against Leicester Tigers at Welford Road earlier this month, is the great-great nephew of Anton Stegman, who was a member of the Springboks' first-ever touring team in 1906 - a tour which featured an historic match against the Midlands in Leicester.
Tickets
Tickets for the match are on sale now and are priced at £35, £30 and £20 and can be purchased through the Tigers ticket office on 08701 28 34 30 or on line at www.tigers.co.uk
