A fortnight after Quins’ LV= Cup win over the Tigers, the London side are back at Welford Road and are hoping for similar fortunes, this time in the Aviva Premiership.

Nick Evans returns to the side in place of Rory Clegg, and restores his 9-10 partnership with Karl Dickson. Jordan Turner-Hall and Ollie Smith, facing his former club, combine in the centre with Tom Williams and George Lowe on the wings. Mike Brown, after missing out on the Newcastle game, is back at full back.

Ceri Jones, Joe Gray and James Johnston make up the front row and Tomas Vallejos and George Robson combine once more in the second row.

Captain Chris Robshaw, Will Skinner and Tom Guest make up a strong back row.

Joe Marler and Rory Clegg miss out through injury; Marler picked up a knock in the LV= Cup game against Newcastle but will be back in contention next weekend. Clegg, who was stretchered off as a precaution against Newcastle, does not have any serious injury and should be available for selection in the next couple of weeks.

Gonzalo Camacho remains with Argentina.

Harlequins team to face Leicester Tigers at Welford Road, Friday 19th November, kick off 7.45pm.
