Harlequins make seven changes to the team that started the heavy Premiership defeat by Leicester last Sunday for Heineken Cup match away to Cardiff Blues on Friday.

Injuries in the pack force a number of changes including Jim Evans and Chris Robshaw who both picked up knocks against Leicester.

As a result Tom Guest will replace Robshaw on the blindside flank and Nicolas Spanghero, who returns from injury himself, will start in the second row alongside James Percival, and Ollie Kohn starts on the bench. Captain and flanker, Paul Volley, returns in replace of Will Skinner.

In the backs, Tom Williams comes in on the wing for the injured Ugo Monye, who is another casualty from last Sunday's match, whilst Haldane Luscombe replaces Jordan Turner-Hall to partner De Wet Barry in the centres.

Samoan scrum-half Steve So'oialo is promoted to the starting XV from the bench and England Saxons squad call-up Danny Care will take So'oialo's spot among the replacements alongside academy centre Tosh Masson and Phil Davies.

Quins are out of contention in Heineken Cup Pool 3, with two points from their four matches.
