The club is advising those supporters without a ticket not to turn up at the ground on the day, as there will be no tickets available.

It is the fifth time this season that the Stoop will be sold out, with the Premiership fixtures against Leicester Tigers (16th October), London Wasps (2nd January), Worcester Warriors (19th February) and Newcastle Falcons (13th March) also being played in front of a capacity crowd.

With building work on the new West stand now in full flow, Quins are expecting a reduced capacity crowd of 8,500 this weekend, when they will be looking to avenge an 18-12 defeat suffered against the Irish on the opening day of the season in the London Double Header at Twickenham (Saturday 4th September).
