Harlequins look to gain revenge for last weekend’s LV=Cup defeat when they visit Gloucester in the Guinness Premiership at Kingsholm tomorrow (3pm).
They are boosted by the return of England Saxons double-try scoring winger, David Strettle, returns to the starting line-up along with Gonzalo Tiesi, who was unfit to compete last Sunday.
With the return of Tiesi to partner Quins' newest re-signing, Jordan Turner-Hall, in the centres, George Lowe moves out to join Strettle on the wing.
Nick Evans, who once again showed his world-class status, retains the fly-half jersey.
Mike Brown captains the side for the third week running in the absence of regular skipper Will Skinner.
In the forwards the only changes are made in the front row where Chris Brooker and James Johnston link with Ceri Jones; meanwhile Matt Cairns and John Andress move to the bench. They are joined by Rory Clegg and Sam Smith, who return from international duty.
Team: Mike Brown (captain), David Strettle, Gonzalo Tiesi, Jordan Turner-Hall, George Lowe, Nick Evans, Karl Dickson, Tom Guest, Ceri Jones, Chris Brooker, James Johnston, James Percival, Lewis Stevenson, Chris York, Neil McMillan, Tom Guest. Replacement: Aston Croall, Matt Cairns, John Andress, Tomas Vallejos, Luke Wallace, Steve So’oialo, Rory Clegg, Sam Smith.
