Front-rowers Alex Moreno, George Chuter and Julian White, together with No8 Brett Deacon, provide the experience in the forwards, while the backline includes Frank Murphy, Matt Cornwell and Ollie Smith as well as Matt Smith who scored a superb try in the match against Argentina at Welford Road last season.
A new generation of Tigers is headed by young second row Calum Green and flanker Rob Bell who have both played in the Guinness A League side this season.
Manu Tuilagi becomes the sixth member of his family to play for the club following in the footsteps of older brothers Freddie, Henry, Alesana, Andy and Vavae.
Jack Cobden, who has had a free-scoring season in the Development XV, makes his senior debut on the other wing.
We have picked a team with some senior players and also some younger players that we want to see in action against a very competitive team, said Leicester Tigers head coach Marcelo Loffreda.
For some of the team it will be their last appearance at Welford Road too and I am sure it will be an excellent occasion for everybody because the reputation of New Zealand rugby speaks for itself.
