The 101-cap Welshman will make his debut alongside compatriot and fellow British and Irish Lion Wyn Jones in the starting XV.

Quins announced the signings of the Welsh duo on the same day in August.

Another arrival in southwest London this summer, tighthead Titi Lamositele, will make his home debut after making his first appearance in a 38-27 loss to his former side Montpellier last week in Corsica.

The squad is still missing Harlequins’ international contingent, who are slowly being reintegrated.
