Strettle named for Tigers trip

Figure image
England winger David Strettle has been recalled to the NEC Harlequins team for Saturday's Guinness Premiership match against Leicester Tigers at Welford Road (5.15pm).

After scoring on his international debut in the RBS 6 Nations defeat against Ireland at Croke Park, Strettle replaces Simon Keogh on the right wing for Quins. The only other change to the team that started against Bristol last weekend is the return of Ceri Jones at loosehead prop after recovering from a calf injury. His return means there is no place for Aston Croall.

Former Leicester players Jimmy Richards and Will Skinner both miss out on a place on the bench, with James Hayter taking over as cover at hooker and Tonga international Chris Hala'Ufia preferred as back-up in the back row. Former Tigers prop Ricky Nebbett is included among the replacements.
