Aaron Mauger will lead out Leicester Tigers for the historic match against South Africa at Welford Road on Friday evening.

The New Zealander international lines up at fly-half for a fixture arranged to officially open the new Caterpillar Stand.
Academy prospects Andy Forsyth and Manu Tuilagi combine as the centre partnership, and Ben Youngs starts at scrum-half.
The forward pack features the eight who started last Saturday’s Guinness Premiership win over Northampton Saints, including young lock Calum Green who made his first senior start in that game.
New signing Lote Tuqiri is also included in the 22 after the Australia international wing arrived earlier this week and hooker George Chuter is also named among the replacements.
Head coach Richard Cockerill takes the opportunity to rest Anthony Allen and Jeremy Staunton who have started all nine games in league and cup so far this season.
Richard Blaze, Harry Ellis, Toby Flood, Geordan Murphy, Billy Twelvetrees, Sam Vesty and Ben Woods are ruled out by injury.
Friday’s game is a 24,000 sell-out. Live coverage is being shown on Sky Sports 2 and on Supersport 1.

#87 Dankie grootblouwebmonster.
Polla se jyt n Steve foto wat jy met ons wil deel?
#84 Hang af of jy daar was toe jy ng saam met jou Pa gery het!..lol Nee, jy trek net baie na die Fouries wat daar op Humansdorp gebly het. Die een seun Andries het so ruk hier in die 90’s vir Vrystaat losskakel en senter gespeel.
btw snoek , there will be 4 sharks under 21 backline players in the sharks super 14 squad
both wings , ouside center and lambie
#88 But playing a running game with guys that hasnt really played together might backfire.
agreed
92@ Supa – Ai man, dis nou weer ‘n foto van ‘n mal ou wat pose in sy onnerbroek langs Steve… daai ding is al tot vervelens toe in Mails gesirluleer….
Hulle moet daai klomp derde rangse bulle uit die SA span skop en ordentlike WP spelers insit…Dan kan ons dalk wen!…hehehe
88 – Yes sharky, mvovu is a good player. Hope he gets more game time next year.
#97 GBS..Let Wel..met sy Blou Bul Onderbroek!..lol
85 Snoek
Hoekom gebruik Porras beeskuk as troukoek?
Om die vliee van die bruid af te hou… 🙄
97# GBS
Klink of die foto Polla baie opgewek maak? hehe
#98 Polla
So van WP gepraat…hoeveel trofees het WP daar op Nuweland?
Ons het al die trofees hier op Nuweland….
WP moes tot twee ouens vir die Bulle gee om julle te leer skop en hol met die bol…Nou kan julle ‘n slag ordentlike raugby speel!…Naday die WP manne julle gewys het hoe!..lol
104 – Deur jou girl se voortande uit te haal en in n glas te gooi tel nie as n trofee nie.
#105 Eerder ons spelers wat hulle maak goed lyk…
Ek sien Loffie gaan dalk Boland afrig…
#106 Nee dit doen nie…maar al die trofee kom in elk geval terug Nuweland toe! Hier waar SA rugby se roots is!
#108 Loffie sal stupis wees as hy die Boland kies bo die Engelse klubs. Boland is nog erger vol politiek as WP!
108 – Waar, ek sien niks. 😉
#109 Wanneer? In 2030? hehe
Chester het oorgeneem om Boland in die premier divisie te hou…toe verloor hulle 40-3 teen Puma..eish!
111 Snoek
😆 Okay..LEES dan…
Supa baie geluk met jou 5000 comments.
Nee man…..Daar staan huidglik ‘n moerse klomp..hulle het net bietjie stof op!
#115 Ek sien! Dankie Snoek. Wil net vir my ouers, broers, my agent, my fans en almal wat ek dalk gemis het dankie se.
113 – boland was baie swak hierdie jaar. ‘n Gewaarborgde 5 punte as jy teen hulle speel. Hulle verdien om uit die CC te wees.
116# Plaas verkoop julle daai trofeekas, hy is nie gebruik die afgelope 8 jaar nie. Julle kan darem iets vir hom kry. 😉
Daar bars Supa deur die 5000 grens en ek vat-vat so aan die 400 se gat!…
