CONOR O'Shea insists he will put out the strongest side he can for Harlequins' final Heineken Cup pool game against Biarritz tonight.

With a quarter-final place secured following Saturday's hammering of Connacht, and only a freak occurrence possibly denying them a home tie, the temptation would be to rest some players.

But Quins boss O'Shea will only make a few tweaks for the trip to France, including bringing Jordan Turner-Hall back in at centre.

He said: “People can look at the maths and say different things could happen, but we've almost certainly got a home quarter-final, barring anything ridiculous or miraculous happening.

“Every game is important because you are representing the champions of England, and you put your best out in every game.

“There are a few bumps and bruises, so perhaps we will make one or two changes – we will see – but these guys want to play and test themselves against sides like Biarritz.

“I'm sure we will see Jordan Turner Hall, he wants to prove a point. He's been knocking on my door and will want to prove himself before going off with the Saxons.

“Chris Robshaw will have the week off after that as the Six Nations get closer, and the younger players will come in for the LV Cup.”
