Selby are back to something like full strength for their crucial Yorkshire 1 encounter with Huddersfield YMCA at Sandhill Lane tomorrow.

With both teams in need of points to increase their chances of Yorkshire 1 rugby next season, this game promises to be a hard-fought affair.

Chris McDonald returns at full back with young Sam Weller switching to the wing now that both first-choice centres Andy Gabel and Shaun Austerfield are available. Martin Protheroe returns on the other wing.

Toby Pemberton takes the stand off berth and will be partnered by Mathew Smith, who has been an absentee for the last four weeks.

In the forwards, Mark Tomlinson starts at prop with Jason Cicero, despite still being troubled by a shoulder problem, in the second row with Wright Phillips. Richard Nicholson returns at flanker with Kevin Lowery taking over at number 8 - Paul Randell takes the other flanker position.

A win for Selby, depending on other results, should go a long way to guaranteeing the club's Yorkshire Division 1 status next term.
