Danny Paul returns from injury

Leeds Carnegie Head Coach Diccon Edwards has made three changes to his side for this Friday’s massive clash with Rotherham Titans at Headingley Carnegie, kick off 8pm.

All three changes come in the front row with USA international Mike MacDonald returning to the starting line up after playing the second half last week at Esher, skipper Andy Titterrell starting at hooker and David Young coming in at tight head prop.
