NEC Harlequins make three changes to the team that started in the 18-15 victory over Otley last Saturday (10th September) for the game against Newbury in National Division One at the Twickenham Stoop on Saturday (17th September), kick-off 3.00pm.
In the back division, Simon Keogh replaces George Harder on the right wing. Having come off the bench to score the match winning try against Otley, Mel Deane starts in the centre alongside Will Greenwood, with Jordan Turner-Hall dropping to the bench.
In the pack, Mike Worsley is out with a back injury so his place at loosehead prop goes to Academy player Alex Rogers, who started in the 35-9 victory over the Pertemps Bees a fortnight ago (3rd September).
