England star Nick Easter will return to first team action for Harlequins when they take on the Newcastle Falcons in a Guinness Premiership match at Twickenham Stoop on Saturday.
Easter will replace flank Chris Robshaw, who is still suffering from a knock on the head he received during Quins' win against Bristol last weekend.
Quins will also make three other changes to the starting side, James Percival, Tom Williams, and Ugo Monye all return to the first XV.
In the backs, Ugo Monye, normally a wing, will move inside to take over the outside centre position.
Tom Williams has recovered from the shoulder injury he picked up against London Wasps, and will replace Charlie Amesbury in the No.11 jersey.
Second row, James Percival will return to the forwards after being rested for last weekend's match against Bristol.
The only other change is De Wet Barry taking the final place on the bench.
