In the back division, George Harder has recovered from a dislocated finger that has forced him to miss the last four games and starts in the centre alongside Gavin Duffy. Harder replaces Mel Deane, who tore a stomach muscle against the Natal Sharks last Thursday night (10th February).

In the pack, Tani Fuga has recovered from a knee injury and replaces Ace Tiatia at hooker. Having received a red card in the victory over Gloucester, Tiatia is currently serving a two-week suspension but will be available for selection for the game away to Bath in the Zurich Premiership next Saturday (26th February).

Dafydd James has recovered from the dead leg that forced him to miss the Gloucester match and is amongst the replacements.

"In their first season in the top flight, Worcester have shown that they are a force to be reckoned with and that they have every intention of retaining their place in the Zurich Premiership," said Mark Evans, NEC Harlequins Chief Executive.

"They comprehensively outplayed us back in October to claim their first victory of the campaign and followed this up with other impressive victories away to Northampton Saints and at home against London Wasps, Leeds Tykes and London Irish."

"However, we can record back-to-back home wins in the Premiership if we perform to the same level that we did against Gloucester two weeks ago. The application of our game plan and the intensity with which we played was first rate, and I know that the squad are looking to build on that performance this weekend."
