Mike Brown takes up the Harlequins captaincy again for Sunday’s LV= Cup clash with Gloucester at The Stoop (3pm).

Will Skinner is again unfit, while Quins are again missing their England contingent.

With Sam Smith and Rory Clegg both starting for England U20 this weekend, Josh Drauniniu will start on the wing and Waisea Luveniyali will cover the fly-half position on the bench.

Nineteen-year-old academy member, Ross Chisholm, starts on the bench.

With the England Elite and Saxons boys still away on International duty and now also the England U20s, the 23 man Quins team that runs out against Gloucester this week will only have a couple of changes to the one that defeated London Irish at the Madejski Stadium last Sunday.

Harlequins find themselves in probably the tightest pool of the competition and, with Cardiff having their noses just in front and Wasps just on Quins' tails, Quins will be determined to get a strong win and hope that the other results go their way.
