At today's press conference Mark Evans said that it's not a first team but it is a strong team neverthe less, if it was a final Harder and James would probably both be playing. He has only selected players who are fully fit with most players having fairly minor injuries:

Tony Diprose: Has a dislocated thumb picked up against Ulster last week
Maurice Fitz Gerald: Recovering from a back injury picked up against Bedford - our for another two or three weeks
Tani Fuga: Nasty cut around his eye playing against Ulster that needed 35 stitches both inside and around the eye, he should be back for London Irish
George Harder: Being given another week to recover from his knee surgery
Dafydd James: Has a slight quadricep strain
Joe Mbu: Recovering from a broken finger picked up in the Compass 7s
