The Rhinos comfortably beat Catalans earlier in the season at Headingley Carnegie, however the Perpignan-based side have had a resurgence since then following a dramatic win over Bradford in the Carnegie Challenge Cup and will be a different side come Sunday evening.

Speaking ahead of the game McClennan said, "Catalans have got plenty of threats across their team. Jason Ryles is now getting used to his new team mates and Thomas Bosc is leading them well around the field. They have turned things around since our last meeting and they will be a challenge for us on Sunday.

"We are delighted to welcome back Lee Smith to the squad this week. He has given everyone a lift in training and we are looking forward to seeing how he goes in the centre position. He has been working hard to get back to full fitness and we are excited to have him back available," added McClennan.
