"I am looking forward to running out at the Stoop in front of a sell-out crowd. Sure I only arrived on Wednesday, but I have had two training sessions with the guys and I am really looking forward to it. Everyone has been great to both Caroline and I since we arrived, and it is now up to me to repay the faith that has been shown in me."

"I am delighted that Andre has now joined us," said Mark Evans, NEC Harlequins Chief Executive. "He is a quality player and a great leader, and will add to the excellent leadership qualities that we already have in the group. Saturday will be a stern test against a fine Bath team and we are looking forward to the challenge."

Will Greenwood will start at fly half, with Viliame Satala and Nick Greenstock continuing in the centre.
