Tigers five all involved once again

Figure image
Leicester Tigers will have five players in the England squad for the 2007 Rugby World Cup Final against South Africa this Saturday (kick-off 8pm).

After having six players in the matchday 22 for the final in 2003, Tigers, along with London Wasps, once again provide the largest number of players from any one club for this weekend's tournament showpiece.

Club captain Martin Corry continues on the blindside flank, with Lewis Moody at openside and Ben Kay selected at lock. 

George Chuter is named among the replacements, as is Dan Hipkiss who was a potential starter at outside centre in the absence of Josh Lewsey.

Lewsey's hamstring injury sees Mark Cueto take the left-wing berth, with Brian Ashton otherwise naming an unchanged squad following Saturday's semi-final win over France in Paris.
