With Danny Care, Ugo Monye and Nick Easter all away on England duty, Andy Gomarsall, Seb Stegmann and Tom Guest will make the starting line up.

Gonzalo Tiesi and Tani Fuga are also absent from the squad due to International commitments, and will be replaced by Tosh Masson in the centre and Chris Brooker on the bench.

Unfortunately, a late fitness test on Mike Brown, sees the fullback unable to play and Tom Williams will move to the number 15 position.

Sunday's game against Wasps presents Evans with his first opportunity to really show the Quins fans, and the rest of the Premiership, what he is capable of, and he knows that the game is going to be very competitive:

"It's going to be my first experience of a derby match between the two big London clubs, but I can imagine the level of intensity the game is going to hit. I played in some pretty big games back home between Otago and Canterbury, and I'm really looking forward to the atmosphere these kinds of games generate, especially for my first game back."
