Quins have a golden opportunity to cement a semi-final place as Gloucester turn up at Twickenham for the jamboree that is the Big Summer Kick off - Saturday 3.00 pm. However, the day will start much earlier with all kinds of attractions  including Craig David.

Let it not distract from the rugby where Gloucester arrive needing a win to help their own top four ambitions. "Home" advantage should carry the day for Quins even if The Shed is not as formidable as it was once perceived.

Quins, unbeaten in five games,  have the luxury of a settled team with Will Collier the ony change as he starts in the front row.

The bench could be a major factor with Will Evans returning after his rib injury. He has featured in the Premiership Cup but this will be his first league game.

Quins: 15 Huw Jones 14 Louis Lynagh 13 Joe Marchant 12 Andre Esterhuizen 11 Cadan Murley 10 Marcus Smoth 9 Danny Care 1 Simon Kerrod 2 Jack Walker 3 Will Collier 4 Matt Symons 5 Hugh Tizard 6 Stephan Lewies (c aptain) 7 Tom Lawday 8 Alex Dombrandt.

Reps: Jack Musk, Joe Marler, Wilco Louw, Matas Jurevicius, Will Evans, Lewis Gjaltema, Tommy Allan, Nick David.
