With Steve Brimacombe and Grant Litt both unavailable, Bradford & Bingley have had to look for a new centre pair after their convincing defeat of Altrincham Kersal last week in SSE National League Three North.

Head coach Stuart Dixon and Ben Greaves, who was at full back, fill the breach at Beverley on Saturday, with Aidan Scully starting at No 15.

But the experienced centre pairing, handy as they are, are sort of going against the grain of director of rugby Martin Whitcombe’s ‘youth revolution’, which includes Georgian Giorgi Lomtadze on the bench for the first team this week.
