Johnson's men a big draw for lowly Quins

Harlequins may be bottom of the Zurich Premiership but the "sold out" notices are up at The Stoop for tomorrow's visit of leaders Leicester.

Quins almost pulled off a shock win at Gloucester and will need similar heroics against a Tigers side led by Martin Johnson and strong enough to rest England No9 challenger Harry Ellis and prop Graham Rowntree.

Leicester outside-half Andy Goode has recovered from a knee injury and teams up at half-back with former Quins No9 Scott Bemand.

Quins give a home debut to Matt Henjak, their new signing from Australia. London Wasps travel to Bath, where their recent visits have inevitably led to incidents on the pitch that required the citing officer's intervention.

London Irish have named a 24-man squad for tomorrow's game with Leeds at Reading. Late fitness tests on a number of players are required but definitely out are injured Adrian Flavin (neck), Darren Edwards (jaw), Peter Poulos (knee) and Paul Sackey (ankle).

Head coach Gary Gold said: "Against Sale we put in our best display of the season.

"The team know they have to repeat that performance and improve on it if we are to have any chance of getting a result against a Leeds team who are improving dramatically."
