Canberra Raiders young gun Xavier Savage will share the NSW Cup fullback duties as coach Ricky Stuart eases him back from a serious injury.

Savage will play his first game of the season in the reserves against St George Illawarra at Canberra Stadium on Sunday after breaking his jaw during the pre-season trials.

The 20-year-old was set to assume the mantle this year as the Raiders' first choice No.1 following the return of Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad to the New Zealand Warriors in the off-season in order to be closer to his young family.
