Leicester Tigers to assess Montoya, Moroni, van Staden & Wiese after Rugby Championship

Julian Montoya and Matias Moroni started for Argentina against Australia on Saturday

Leicester head coach Steve Borthwick has yet to decide whether Julian Montoya, Matias Moroni, Jasper Wiese and Marco van Staden will play for the Tigers this month.

The two Argentines and two South Africans have been on duty at the Rugby Championship in Australia.

And all four could also be involved in the autumn internationals programme.

"These players have been in a bubble for a long period of time," Borthwick told BBC Radio Leicester.

"Each one of them will have to be medically assessed. They've played different numbers of minutes, so we'll take each one on a case-by-case basis."

In the quartet's absence, Leicester have won all three Premiership games so far and lead the table by one point from Northampton.

Back row Wiese, 25, and centre Moroni, 30, made 20 and 17 appearances respectively for Tigers last season, while hooker Montoya, 27, only played six games, but scored five tries.

Van Staden, 26, has yet to make his debut in the Leicester back row since joining the club from Super Rugby side The Bulls.

"We'll have to chat to the players, understand where they are and make sure the preparation is right. That's what we need to do. I'll have that conversation with them," added Borthwick.

South Africa are next in action against Wales in Cardiff on 6 November, with Argentina taking on France on the same day.

The Tigers have four games before that this month, away to London Irish on Saturday, at Worcester on 16 October, at home to Sale on 23 October and away to Northampton on 30 October.
