Jordan Turner-Hall returns to the Harlequins' starting line-up to face Cardiff Blues in Pool Five of the Heineken Cup at the Stoop on Sunday.
After injuring his shoulder in only his side's second home game of the season, the centre has been out of action for four months but returns to partner Gonzalo Tiesi, for Quins' final Heineken Cup game of this season. Nils Mordt moves to the bench.
With the absence of Tani Fuga from the front row, Chris Brooker takes up the starting hooker position, where he combines with Ceri Jones and John Andress.
England under-20 player Joe Marler, will make only his second first-team appearance in the squad, starting on the bench.
Lewis Stevenson replaces the injured George Robson in the second row and Chris Robshaw returns to the number six jersey. Tom Guest starts on the bench.
In the backs, Nick Evans switches from his traditional position at fly-half to full-back, where he covers for the absent Mike Brown while Rory Clegg starts at ten. George Lowe replaces Tom Williams on the bench.
Meanwhile, Cardiff have named an unchanged lineup. The Blues are also out of Heineken Cup quarter-final contention and need a bonus-point win to stay in line for a place in the Challenge Cup.
