Harlequins have made five changes to the side beaten by Gloucester.

Ben Botica replaces Nick Evans, who had surgery on a broken leg this week.

Nick Easter returns at number eight, Adam Jones is back in the front row and scrum-half Sam Egerton, who joined Quins during the week as injury cover for Karl Dickson, is named on the bench.

Replacements: Gray, Evans, Sinckler, Merrick, J. Chisholm, Egerton, Swiel, Hopper.  

That man is of course, Manu Tuilagi.

The 24-year-old England centre has been sidelined for 15 months with groin and hamstring problems.

Earlier this week, England coach Eddie Jones said he "would like to think" Tuilagi will be available for the Six Nations game against Wales on 12 March.

Well, the Australian is in the stands at Twickenham Stoop tonight to keep an eye on him.

It's been five days since we were last with you, so hopefully enough time to digest what happened between Premiership leaders Saracens and Wasps.

Before Sunday's match at Allianz Park, Sarries had won 10 of their 11 league games, scored the most points and had the best defensive record this season.

Then Wasps came to the capital. Dai Young's men ran in eight tries, including three in the first eight minutes, and inflicted Sarries heaviest home defeat in their history - a quite bonkers 23-64 scoreline.

While we can't promise you the same level of excitement this evening for Harlequins against Leicester, we do have another cracker of a match on paper with both teams pushing for a top-four spot.

And don't forget, Tigers have one of rugby's brightest stars back from injury...
