Leicester sign Puma Pablo Matera

Leicester Tigers have Argentina flanker Pablo Matera as an injury cover for Tom Croft.
Croft is out until the end of the season with a knee injury he sustained against Worcester but Matera, who started for Argentina in all of the Rugby Championship games, will be a handy replacement for the British & Irish Lion superman.
Tigers boss Richard Cockerill said: “We have looked at several players and Jonathan Poff was one of those. But Pablo Matera was available and he has only just turned 20.
“I have been watching him play in the Rugby Championship this summer. He is one of the best young forwards in world rugby.
“He was keen to come, especially with Gonzalo Camacho and Marcos Ayerza here. He wanted to come to a place where he could play, learn and develop. And he chose to come to us despite several English and French clubs being after him. He has decided that this is the best place for him to develop as a player.”
