Danny Care and Ugo Monye return to the Harlequins side for tomorrow's clash with Gloucester.

They will be joined in the starting line-up by their England team mate Nick Easter, who returns from a calf injury sustained against Worcester.

With the return of Nick Evans last week for the away trip to Franklins' Gardens, the 23 man Quins team is almost back to full strength.

With captain Will Skinner and Argentine international Gonzalo Tiesi their only absentees, it will be a strong and determined team that will run out at the Stoop tomorrow (Saturday).

Unbeaten at the Stoop in the Guinness Premiership since September's loss against Saracens, Quins will know that tomorrows opponents will be a tough side to beat.

There are no changes to the front five from last Saturdays game against Northampton, but the return of Nick Easter to the familiar number eight shirt sees a re-shuffle in the back row, with Tom Guest and Chris Robshaw joining forces on the flank.

Neil McMillan starts on the bench, replacing Chris York.

In the backs, the return of Care and Monye sees Karl Dickson and Tom Williams take their places on the bench.

Harlequins team to play Gloucester, Saturday 28th November. Kick off 3pm.
