Greenwood back to help battling Quins

England centre Will Greenwood will make his first-team comeback for Harlequins in tomorrow's sell-out clash with fellow strugglers London Irish at The Stoop.

Greenwood, who has finally recovered from a shoulder operation in December, will be partnered in midfield by fellow Lion candidate Dafydd James, with Ugo Monye back from a calf injury to replace Simon Keogh on the left wing.

Whoever loses this match could be in serious relegation danger and Harlequins chief executive Mark Evans said: "Our main focus is to qualify for the wild card play-offs and the chance to win a place in next season's Heineken Cup. But we still have to secure our place in the top flight and beating the Irish will go a long way to help us achieving both goals."

Meanwhile, Warren Gatland, the London Wasps director of rugby, has warned his reigning champions that they face a tough clash against Saracens at Wycombe on Sunday.

Gatland said: "Saracens have won six of their last seven encounters in the Premiership.

"The last time we met was at Twickenham, on the opening day of this season. They won 13-11, and they were simply too good for us."
