Cardiff Blues will again be without Wales captain Sam Warburton when they face Harlequins in the European Challenge Cup on Sunday.
Warburton has not played since injuring an ankle against Ospreys in November.
Blues' Wales utility back Gareth Anscombe (ankle) could return from the bench but Gethin Jenkins (neck) is out.
Nick Easter returns for Quins at number eight while Will Collier and George Merrick replace former Wales prop Adam Jones and James Horwill respectively.

Harlequins' Wales centre Jamie Roberts will face his former team for the first time.
Sam Hobbs takes over at loose-head prop from Blues' Wales veteran Jenkins
Danny Wilson makes only one more change to the side that started their 29-27 win over Pro12 leaders Scarlets on New Year's Day as Macauley Cook takes over at lock from Jarrad Hoeata.
Pool Three leaders Quins are undefeated at home this season - Saracens being their latest victims - and lie third in the Premiership.
Blues had a poor start to their campaign and lie second behind Quins and ninth in the Pro12.
Wilson's side's hopes of qualifying for the quarter-finals are slim but would be boosted by a shock win, which the Blues' coach believes will only happen if they nullify Roberts' midfield threat.
Harlequins: Mike Brown; Marland Yarde, George Lowe, Jamie Roberts, Ross Chisholm; Nick Evans, Danny Care (capt); Joe Marler, Rob Buchanan, Will Collier, George Merrick, Charlie Matthews, Chris Robshaw, Jack Clifford, Nick Easter.
