An Argentina international who ran out against England a fortnight ago will line up for Rotherham Titans in today's British and Irish Cup clash with Munster.

Centre Juan Pablo Estelles will start for the Titans at Clifton Lane this afternoon after arriving on loan from Northampton Saints.

Estelles – who played on the wing in Argentina’s 27-14 defeat at Twickenham – will be joined in the Titans side by fellow Saints, winger Tom Collins and flanker Lewis Ludlam.

Titans head coach Justin Burnell has arranged loan deals with other Premiership outfits Leicester Tigers, Worcester Warriors and Newcastle Falcons.

Tigers’ Oli Bryant will start at centre against Munster with Worcester’s Wilhelm van der Sluys among the replacements with hooker Santiago Socino – younger brother of former Titans favourite Juan Pablo.

Burnell was understandably delighted to boost his squad numbers with the new additions ahead of the B&I Cup tie.

He said: “I’m very grateful to the Premiership clubs who have helped us.
