Harlequins have made two changes to their starting XV to face Leicester Tigers at Mattioli Woods Welford Road on Saturday (15:05 KO).

The Quarters travel to the Midlands with hopes of gaining form and momentum as they embark on the final four fixture of the Gallagher Premiership regular season.

In the forward pack, Quins have made one change as George Hammond comes in for Will Evans. Hammond’s inclusion in the second row sees Chandler Cunningham-South revert to blindside flanker for Saturday’s contest.

At scrum-half, Lewis Gjaltema will start against the Tigers as both Will Porter (Face) and Danny Care (Knee) miss out on trip to the Midlands.

After a late call-up to the starting XV against Sale Sharks, Cameron Anderson retains his place on the right wing after impressing at The Stoop.

The Quarters’ impact options are boosted by the return of tighthead Dillon Lewis, who returns from a bicep injury as part of a 6-2 split on the bench.

Jake Murray is also in-line to make his Gallagher Premiership debut, if introduced on Saturday.
