Figure image
Tigers captain Martin Corry has been named in the starting XV alongside club colleague Ben Kay for England's crunch clash with South Africa this Friday (kick-off 8pm UK time).

The total number of Leicester players in the matchday 22 stays at four, with George Chuter and Lewis Moody named among the replacements.

Centre Dan Hipkiss is the only Tigers player to miss out, as he waits to make his first World Cup appearance.

Head Coach Brian Ashton has made three changes in personnel and a further positional change, with Corry, Nick Easter and Paul Sackey all coming into the side and Jason Robinson switching from wing to full back. Joe Worsley, Lawrence Dallaglio and Mark Cueto all miss out on the squad altogether.
