Dan Scarbrough will make a first start for Leeds since the Powergen Cup semi-final against Sale last month when Northampton visit. Scarbrough replaces wing Diego Albanese, with rugby director Phil Davies making three changes in the forwards, where hooker Rob Rawlinson, lock Phil Murphy and flanker Aaron Persico all start. Davies includes 17-year-old wing David Doherty on the bench, and he could become the youngest-ever Tykes player. Northampton boss Wayne Smith has made just one change. Matt Dawson, who played in the centre alongside Ben Cohen against Bath last time out, has not recovered from a hamstring strain, so John Leslie takes over. Dawson, who is responding well to treatment, should be fit for next week's clash against Harlequins.
