Rory Clegg: Starts at fly-half for Harlequins after a stint at Leeds Carnegie

Ospreys host Harlequins at Brewery Field this Sunday with both teams still in with a chance of qualifying.

The home side must win and hope other results go their way; Harlequins need just two points to secure qualification.

Rhys Webb will skipper an Ospreys team that has been hit by injuries and international call-ups.

They do include Wales internationals Jonathan Thomas and five-time capped Kiwi Campbell Johnstone.

Rory Clegg returns at fly-half and Ross Chilsholm starts at fullback after coming back from injury last week.

Luke Wallace will lead the side as they aim for a home semi-final.
