Harlequins v Leicester preview

Harlequins have kept faith in the team that beat Stade Francais and Sale to take on Leicester tomorrow.
Last week’s win against the Sharks kept Quins in the race for the semi-finals but they trail Bath by five points and must beat the Tigers if they want to remain in the hunt.
For the second consecutive week, the bench is unchanged too with Ross Chisholm continuing his return to action after his knee injury.
Meanwhile, Toby Flood and Anthony Allen return to the Leicester teamtaking over from Owen Williams and Matt Smith at fly-half and outside centre respectively.
There are changes in the front row where international props Marcos Ayerza and Logovi’i Mulipola return and Neil Briggs comes in to start at hooker.
Geoff Parling continues his return after shoulder surgery with a place in the 23 after playing 20 minutes as a replacement last time out.
The Tigers’ recent run saw them claw their way back to third and can still claim a home semi-final trailing Northampton by only three points with three rounds to go.
Director of rugby Richard Cockerill said: “The chase for the top four places is very tight and we’ve just got to keep picking up points. We haven’t got a semi-final spot yet so we’re as hungry as ever to get there.
“Quins are in good form, they played very well in their games against Stade Francais and Sale Sharks in the last two weeks, but we’ve been in good form too and we have to get our own game right going down there.”
