Injuries to first team players at the weekend means the side has been stripped of many of its more experienced players with Grant Anderson starting the game on the wing. Anderson, who only turned 17 last week, is currently in the Junior Academy and is studying at Moulton College.

Argentinian hooker Matias Cortese will start the game at loosehead.

Kick-off for tonight's game at Welford Road is 7pm.
