Leeds Carnegie’s squad for tomorrow's opening game of the LV= Cup in Llanelli against the Scarlets includes 13 players who have come through the club’s Academy structure.
There are two debutants in the second row sees - Dominic Barrow and James Craig, with 17-year-old Prince Henry's Grammar School pupil Barrow becoming the first to debut for Leeds Carnegie after the club was formed in 1992.
Kearnan Myall will captain the side for the first time in a pack where only Mike MacDonald and Alfie To’oala are not from the Academy.
The bench sees a further three possible debutants in England under-18 captain Chris Walker, A-team captain Oliver Stedman, who has been on loan with Otley, and scrum half Craig Hampson.
