Winger Scott Armstrong is set to become the latest player to make his full debut for Leeds Carnegie from the club's highly successful RFU Academy.
Leeds travel to Bristol this Sunday for their third and final game in the Pool stages of the EDF Energy Cup.
Armstrong, 21, is a student at Leeds Metropolitan University and made a try scoring appearance as a replacement earlier this season in the same competition against Saracens at Headingley Carnegie.
There is also a possibility of a debut for forward Andy Boyde, another Academy product, who is included amongst the replacements.
Joe Bedford will captain his home town club for the first time however he successful skippered Rotherham last season as they pushed Leeds all the way for the National Division One title.
Scotland international Jon Dunbar will make his first appearance in the starting line up since suffering a torn hamstring in the second game of the season alongside Argentinean Martin Schusterman and Rhys Oakley in the back row. New loan signing Adam Balding is cup tied for this competition and therefore unavailable for selection.
