| Newcastle Falcons have made just two changes to their side for Friday?s Guinness Premiership clash against Leeds Carnegie at Kingston Park (kick-off 8pm). |
All Black centre Mark Mayerhofler returns from a broken hand in the centres as Tom Dillon makes way, while the only other change comes in the front row where David Wilson takes the place of Micky Ward at tight head prop.
Friday’s game sees the Falcons try to extend their unbeaten home run so far this season after Kingston Park victories over Sale Sharks and Harlequins.
One player not available for selection, however, is second row Andy Buist, who faces a shoulder operation this weekend which should see him sidelined for at least two months.
Tickets for Friday’s game are still available in advance by calling 0871 226 60 60, from the Eden Park store in Jesmond or from the Kingston Park box office for match-day cash sales.
