England star, Nick Easter will return to first team action for Harlequins this weekend against Newcastle Falcons, at a sold out Twickenham Stoop.

Easter will replace flanker Chris Robshaw, who is still suffering from a knock on the head he received during Quins' win against Bristol last weekend.

Quins will also make three other changes to the starting side, James Percival, Tom Williams, and Ugo Monye all return to the first XV.

In the backs, Ugo Monye, normally a wing, will move inside to take over the outside centre position. Tom Williams has recovered from the shoulder injury he picked up against London Wasps, will replace Charlie Amesbury on the blindside wing.
