There's a handful of changes for Quins as we head up the M1 to take on Northampton Saints in one of the most difficult trips of the season.

The defending champions did go down at Bath in the season opener only to bounce in a narrow 30-24 deafet of Exeter at  home.

We go into the game having narrowly lost at Sale,  but not being terribly impressive in defeating basement boys Falcons 28-14 last week. Hence the changes.

Danny Care is back and Jarrod Evans will be at fly-half allowing Marcus Smith to move to full back with Leigh Halfpenny injured. Up front,  Jack Walker returns at hooker and Imre  Herbst is set for his 50th apperance as he comes in to partner Stephan Lewies at lock.

Big game. Big opportunity.

Quins: 1. Fin Baxter 2. Jack Walker 3. Titi Lamositele 4. Irne Herbst 5. Stephan Lewies (Captain) 6. Jack Kenningham 7. Will Evans 8. Chandler Cunningham-South  9. Danny Care 10. Jarrod Evans 11. Oscar Beard 12. Lennox Anyanwu 13. Will Joseph 14. Nick David 15. Marcus Smith.

Changes: 16. Nathan Jibulu  17. Jordan Els 18. Simon Kerrod 19. Dino Lamb  20. James Chisholm 21. Will Porter 22. Bryn Bradley 23. Cameron Anderson.
