In the backline Simon Keogh will make his first start at scrum half replacing Scott Bemand, while Chris Bell comes in at outside centre replacing the injured Josh Taumalolo.

"We anticipated a difficult game in Valladolid, and that is exactly what we got" said NEC Harlequins' Chief Executive Mark Evans. "Having played well in the first half, we let Cetransa back into the game in the first 15 minutes of the second half, and were probably lucky to come away with a 31 -18 win. In terms of selection we have made just three changes. We are delighted that George Harder is back fit, and it will be good to see him have a run out for 40 or 50 minutes, and this has allowed us to give Simon Keogh a run at scrum half, although Scott Bemand played very well on Sunday."

"We are looking forward to welcoming Cetransa to the Stoop, and looking forward to playing in front of yet another full house at The Stoop".
