Leeds Carnegie have included Andy Tuilagi at centre for the Guinness Premiership home match against his former club Leicester Tigers on Saturday (2.45pm kick-off).

Tuilagi was on loan at the Yorkshire club last season before sealing a summer move from Tigers.

Director of rugby Stuart Lancaster has recalled prop Mike MacDonald and hooker Vili Ma'asi after injury, and there is a place in the back row for Rhys Oakley who starts at No8. Calum Clark moves across to flanker in place of Martin Schusterman.

Jon Dunbar is named among the replacements after being sidelined by a hamstring injury since the second game of the season. Fosi Pala'amo and James Parkes drop to the bench after starting last weekend's European Challenge Cup win over Dax.
