Leicester Tigers hooker Julián Montoya has been named to captain Argentina in their second test against New Zealand this Saturday, August 17 at 8:05am. 

Montoya missed out on Los Pumas sensational win last week against the All Blacks with a rib injury, but is fit to take his place in the side as they hunt as historic double against New Zealand in their back yard.

Tigers flyhalf Handré Pollard starts from the bench for the Springboks after playing the same role in their dominant win against Australia last time out. 

Montoya and Pollard will face off in back-to-back tests on the 21st and 28th of September before returning to Leicester to join up with their club teammates. 

Elsewhere, two Tigers tighthead props have been selected in England U18s team to play Georgia in South Africa.
