Harlequins will see four changes to the starting line up which faced Sale Sharks last Sunday, when they play their last 2007/08 Guinness Premiership league fixture against Leicester Tigers, at Welford Road this Saturday.

In the front row, hooker, Chris Brooker, comes in to replace the injured Tani Fuga, with Aston Croall filling the spot on the bench. Nick Easter comes back into the number 8 position, putting Tom Guest on the bench.

In the backs, Chris Malone returns to the number 10 position, putting Adrian Jarvis on the bench. With Ugo Monye still injured from last week's match against Sale, David Strettle moves to outside centre. It will be an emotional occasion for many Quins supporters when Simon Keogh pulls on the multi-coloured jersey for his last Premiership league fixture for the club, partnering Tom Williams on the wing.

Harlequins Director of Rugby, Dean Richards, says: "We travel to Leicester for the climax of this season's fixture list. It will no doubt be a huge game for both players and supporters and I am looking forward to it being a well fought match.

"It is a young and talented squad who will be making the journey to Welford Road tomorrow. We haven't given up the fourth spot yet and we are still in with a shout."
