Oxford Harlequins will seal third place in National 3 South West if they pick up at least two points at Redingensians on Saturday.

Quins look well-placed to achieve their best ever finish, but with champions Taunton to come in their final match, it is not a cast-iron certainty.

Hooker Dave Needham returns on the bench, flanker Tim Knapp replaces Ed Davies (unavailable) and centre Dom Maley is fit again.

John Brodley, Quins’ director of rugby, said: “Third place is still our main aim. Everybody is still training hard.

“The players really want to beat Taunton in the final game.

“In some ways, they are hoping they remain unbeaten until then.

“That is our main goal for now and we’ll worry about the Oxfordshire Cup semi-final against Chinnor after that.”

Matt Webster returns at hooker for Chinnor’s long trip to Devon side Barnstaple as Alan Cawston is at fellow player Rob Hill’s wedding.

Chinnor will look to build on last week’s impressive 46-8 home victory over Coney Hill.

Head coach Jason Bowers said: “It was nice to get a couple of key players back.

“We just played better rugby and with more purpose.

“Having beaten Barnstaple pretty comfortably at home, we expect to go there and win, although the long trip will make it tougher.”

Danny Wells returns at centre as Henley Hawks visit Shelford for the first time in National 2 South.

Neil Baggett shifts to left wing, with Jayde Cruickshank dropping out.

Loose-head prop Rowan Fulller captains the side again in the absence of scrum half James Gaunt (unavailable).

Alex Penny starts at tight-head prop instead of James Hadfield.

Henley head coach Jason Forster said it would be massive test.

“We still mathematically can be relegated,” said Forster.

“It is going to be huge for the club and huge for the players.

“They will be playing a game they love, but having to cope with the pressure of staying in the league.”
