 | POWERGEN CUP FINAL Saturday 16 April, 1430 BST Live on BBC1, Five Live Sports Extra and this website |
Emerging youngster Tom Biggs has won a place in Leeds' team for Saturday's Powergen Cup final against Bath. Biggs, a business student at Leeds Metropolitan University, will replace Argentine wing Diego Albanese in the Tykes side for the Twickenham clash.
The 20-year-old's return to the line-up is the only change to the side which won at Gloucester last Saturday.
Biggs, an England Under-21 cap, has scored nine tries in 19 games including a recent solo effort against Leicester.
At the beginning of the season Biggs was working in a cinema to supplement his student life, and contemplating playing for National League Two side Harrogate.
But he was drafted into the Tykes squad following an injury crisis and has since shown the potential to be one of the game's future stars. Scottish international flanker Jon Dunbar, who will be on the Leeds bench, was part of the Newcastle side which won the Cup last season.
Leeds team: Balshaw (capt); Snyman, Christophers, Bell, Biggs; Ross, Dickens; Shelley, Regan, Kerr; Hooper, Palmer; Morgan, Parks, Popham.
Replacements: Holt, Rawlinson, Dunbar, Hyde, McMillan, McMullen, Albanese.
