IT is a tale of two babies for Oxford Harlequins as they host Barnstaple in National 3 South West tomorrow.
Centre Martin Nutt returns after missing last week’s defeat at Redingensians after his wife gave birth to a son.
Prop James Eckert, however, is on standby to miss the game as his wife is already overdue.
Meanwhile, captain Simon Chadbone returns after a three-week suspension.
Quins director of rugby John Brodley said: “It is a very important game for us.
“By gaining a bonus point last week, we moved above Barnstaple, so we can pull away from them with a home victory on Saturday.
“There were times last week where we played exceptionally well.
“Hopefully we can sustain that for longer periods.”
Oxford Harlequins (v Barnstaple, home): from Eckert, Clark, Chadbone (capt), Boulton, Barlow, Boyle, Purchase, Newman, Young, Welburn, Powell, Maspero, Stewart, Cope, Nutt, Pearson, Crapper, Andre, Murray.
