Head coach Wayne Smith today named a side for tomorrow night's game at The Stoop against NEC Harlequins following fitness tests carried out this morning.
Centre Bruce Reihana has had to pull out of the squad after failing to recover from a knee injury he suffered against The Sharks last weekend. Australian Peter Jorgensen will take Reihana's place and will no doubt use the opportunity to try to draw back level in the season's try scoring stakes - Ben Cohen is currently on 11 after scoring against The Sharks last weekend and Jorgensen is on 10.
Fly-half Paul Grayson, lock Matt Lord and flanker Grant Seely all passed their fitness tests this morning ahead of tomorrow night's game which kicks-ff at 7.45pm.
