Harlequins RL have made a few changes for the visit of the champions to the Twickenham Stoop this Sunday.

Henry Paul and Matt Gafa are still out through injury while head coach Brian McDermott calls back Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook and Julien Rinaldi, as well as Joe Walsh and Dave Tootill. Also omitted from the squad are Richard Villasanti and David Mills.

McDermott believes that his team can once again defeat St Helens with some improvements in key areas: "We have made a few changes from last week, some to do with the stage of the season, and others to do with performance. We are lucky to be in a position that we can do that because we have healthy competition within the squad."

"We have worked hard on our 'D' this week because it let us down at Huddersfield. Defence is something that we pride ourselves on. The other thing that was most disappointing about last week was how we let the game get away from us. We have worked hard on that as well.

"We've proven already this season that we can beat St Helens, and again we are going in for the win."
