Preview: Harlequins vs. Worcester Warriors

Quins vs. Worcester

Harlequins will be eager to get back to winning ways on Friday when they host Worcester Warriors at Twickenham Stoop.

The Aviva Premiership leaders suffered their first defeat in six matches last weekend when they slumped to a 21-18 loss at Bath.

Meanwhile, Worcester can make it three victories from their last four if they topple the champions for the first time.

Quins have made three changes for the game as Seb Stegmann, James Johnston and Maurie Fa'asavalu all come into the side.

Warriors welcome back winger David Lemi to their starting lineup and there is also a place in the side for Alex Grove, who replaces the injured Joe Carlisle.

Meanwhile, new signing Euan Murray has been named among the replacements.
