<div align="center"> Leeds v Wasps (Sat) </div>
GUINNESS PREMIERSHIP
Date: Saturday, 10 May Kick-off: 1500 BST Venue: Headingley
Coverage: Commentary on BBC Radio Leeds 92.4 FM, 774 AM, DAB and online at bbc.co.uk/leeds; live scores on BBC Sport website
Captain Stuart Hooper plays his final game for relegated Leeds before his summer move to Bath.
Also making their final appearances for the Headingley club on Saturday are John Holtby, Pablo Bouza, Mark Lock and Darren Edwards.
Wasps have named England fly-half Danny Cipriani on the bench, with Jeremy Staunton starting in his place.
Skipper Lawrence Dallaglio returns at number eight, alongside Joe Worsley and James Haskell in the back row.
Meanwhile, Wasps lock Simon Shaw is set to become the first player to make 200 Premiership appearances - having made his debut back in October 1997.
Departing Leeds director of rugby Stuart Lancaster:
"Wasps is obviously a great challenge for us and we have spoken about the importance of finishing the season well in front of our own fans.
"Both players and coaching staff are determined to finish well and take us through in a positive frame of mind into our off and pre-season programmes."
Wasps director of rugby Ian McGeechan:
"We have had some big results over the last three months, and our success has been down to an excellent squad effort, in which every player has played his part.
"This season it has been obvious that every game in the Premiership has been very competitive. Leeds have remained a difficult team to play against all year, and gave us a very competitive game at Adams Park earlier in the season - I'm sure it will be no different on Saturday."
Leeds: Hinton, Armstrong, Vickerman, Holtby, Biggs, Di Bernardo, Bedford, MacDonald, Ma'asi, McGee, Hooper (capt), Myall, Dunbar, Fourie, Balding. Replacements: Hopcroft, Rawlingon, Bouza, Lock, Edwards, Greendale, Hepworth.
Wasps: Van Gisbergen, Sackey, Waldouck, Flutey, Voyce, Staunton, Reddan, French, Ibanez, Holford, Shaw, Palmer, Worsley, Haskell, Dallaglio (capt). Replacements: Ward, Payne, Birkett, Webber, McMillan, Lewsey, Cipriani.
