The A-League encounter is a 7.30pm kick-off, Newcastle already assured of second place in the northern conference and an away semi-final at either Harlequins or Exeter.

Nonetheless they will complete their group campaign tonight, looking to build on big wins at home to Leicester and Northampton in their last two encounters.

Tonight’s line-up sees the Falcons widening their net, with a number of guest players included.

Doncaster’s Morgan Eames starts at lock, with Northumbria University’s Matt Salway packing down on the openside flank.

Junior academy trio Alistair Blackett, Will Montgomery and Tom Marshall are all named on the bench, as are Leeds Beckett’s Dan Kelly and Northumbria’s Aedan Moloney.

Having started for Doncaster over the weekend Cameron Cowell is named at full-back, Joel Matavesi starting at fly-half after impressing from the bench in last week’s home win over northern conference leaders Northampton.
