Five star Tigers once again

Figure image
England have again named five Leicester Tigers in their starting line-up for the next installment of this autumn's Investec Challenge Series at Twickenham. Martin Corry, Lewis Moody, Ben Kay, George Chuter and Julian White all retain their places as Andy Robinson's side prepare to face Argentina on Saturday.

That number dwarfs the contribution of other Guinness Premiership sides, with Gloucester the only other club to have more than one player included in the starting XV.  

Corry continues to captain his country from the blindside flank and is joined in the back row by Moody who starts at openside. Kay is again chosen as one of three vice-captains, while Chuter and White start at hooker and tight-head prop respectively.

The front row features England's only change from last Sunday's 40-21 defeat to New Zealand, with Perpignan's Perry Freshwater coming in for Sale's Andrew Sheridan.

There are two new faces on the bench however, with Tigers fly-half Andy Goode being replaced by Newcastle's Toby Flood and Mark Van Gisbergen making way for Wasps clubmate Josh Lewsey.
