Leicester Tigers have included Ben Kay and George Chuter, who were both released by England, in the squad for tomorrow night's clash against world champions. The team includes two teenagers in the centre, Andrew Forsyth and Manu Tuilagi.

South Africa have made a change to their team with flanker Davon Raubenheimer replacing Heinrich Brüssow who has been withdrawn because Test No.8 Pierre Spies has pulled out of the tour after having surgery to a finger.

Tigers: S Hamilton; L Amorosino, A Forsyth, M Tuilagi, J Murphy; A Mauger (capt), B Youngs; M Ayerza, M Davies, M Castrogiovanni, C Green, B Kay, G Parling, B Pienaar, B Deacon.

Reps: G Chuter, D Cole, T Armes, D Hemingway, J Grindal, G Tonks, L Tuqiri.
