Flanker Chris Robshaw will return to the Harlequins starting line-up for the first time in six weeks, after recovering from a broken hand to face Worcester Warriors in the Guinness Premiership at the Twickenham Stoop on Saturday.
Will Skinner and Nick Easter, who have both passed late fitness tests, will start alongside Robshaw in the back row. The only other change in the forwards to the team that faced Sale three weeks ago, will be Tani Fuga, who will come in for the injured Gary Botha at hooker.
In the backs, the England Saxon pairing of Adrian Jarvis and Danny Care will start as the half-backs, whilst Tosh Masson and Hal Luscombe are preferred in the centres.
Worcester make four changes for the clash at the Stoop, with Warriors scrum-half Ryan Powell and fly-half James Brown both given starts.
Ryan Powell replaces namesake Matt Powell and Brown comes in for Loki Crichton as the Warriors hunt a first away win in the league this campaign.
Director of Rugby Mike Ruddock also hands a recall to Drew Hickey who takes the place of Tom Wood in the back row.
However, prop Darren Morris is ruled out with a stinger injury and his place in the front row goes to Tony Windo who will make his first league start since October.
Youngster Callum Black misses the game with a shoulder injury and his spot on the bench goes to Shaun Ruwers, who signed a new two-year deal this week. Wing Marcel Garvey is also named among the replacements.
