Harlequins make four changes
May 10, 2002

Harlequins have made four changes, one positional, to the team that defeated Leeds Tykes last Friday for their final game of the season away to Sale Sharks on Sunday.

In the pack, Adrian Olver misses out due to a calf injury and is replaced by Bruce Douglas. Ace Tiatia moves from the back row to play at hooker in place of Keith Wood, who has led the side over the last few weeks. Wood returned from a calf injury back in March and is still not 100% right. In his absence, Jason Leonard will take over as captain.

Roy Winters comes in to the back row to replace Tiatia, with Steve White-Cooper starting on the openside flank.

In the back division, Will Greenwood, who was doubtful for the Leeds game last Friday suffering from a virus,
has been unable to train this week and is replaced by Chris Bell.

"Sale are a very confident team at the moment who will be determined to finish the season in second place," said Mark Evans, NEC Harlequins Chief executive. "But after our win over Leeds, we would also like to finish
the season with a win as a thank you to our fans, who have given the club tremendous support in what has been
a disappointing season."

The full team is as follows:

15. Ben Gollings
14. Rob Jewell
13. Chris Bell
12. Nick Greenstock
11. Matt Moore
10. Paul Burke
9. Matthew Powell
