Scarlets loosehead prop Phil Price joins fellow regional player Alex Jeffries in the front row alongside hooker Morgan MacRae.

Ellis Hopkins joins Ed Couzens in the second row with Nathan Hart, Caine Rees-Jones and Ryan Jenkins lining up in the back row.

Head Coach Paul Fisher said; “We’re aware that the Quins will be a big threat in terms of set-piece and it’s important that we focus on getting parity in that area of the game.
