Quins make three changes

NEC Harlequins have gone with Irish international Paul Burke, Roy Winters and George Harder as their three changes from the Zurich Premiership draw with London Irish to play Connacht in the first leg of the Parker Pen Challenge Cup semi-final at the Stoop on Sunday.

Ex-Connacht Gavin Duffy and ex-Leinster Simon Keogh will take the field, while Andy Dunne and Ben Willis, both formerly of Leinster, will be on the bench.

“As a group we have a lot of respect for what Connacht have achieved this season. It goes without saying that the two games will be very tight affairs, hopefully giving full entertainment to our supporters, with a place in a European final at stake,” said NEC Harlequins Chief Executive Mark Evans.

Harlequins (v Connacht): G Duffy; G Harder, W Greenwood, M Deane, U Monye; P Burke, S Keogh; M Worsley, T Fuga, J Dawson, S Miall, J Evans, R Winters, A Vos (Capt), T Diprose.

Replacements: J Hayter, L Gomez, C Jones, B Davison, L Sherriff, B Willis, A Dunne.
