There is increased competition for places as Oxford Harlequins travel to Brackell in South West 1 tomorrow.

Backs Elio Recchia and Andy Noyce return to the squad, while props Paul DeLange and Tom Chapman are pushing for starts after coming off the bench against Cleve.

Quins look set to continue with Phil Vinter alongside Dave Payne in the second row, while Ali Halsall vies for a back-row spot.

Bracknell lost 30-0 to Quins earlier in the season and although their form has picked up since, they are still in relegation trouble.

Chinnor captain Matt Hutchings has recovered from his ankle ligament injury to lead them at home to Havant in National 3 South.

Tom Whelan gets a start at tight-head prop after being used largely as an impact player this season.

Chinnor are now 17 points adrift of safety and have not won since October.

Relegation is becoming increasingly certain, particularly as they have still to face four of the division's top five teams.

Henley Hawks are set to field an unchanged side for their National 2 clash with Barking at Dry Leas.

Hawks lost narrowly at Redruth last time out, so a bonus point victory is vital to boost their promotion hopes against a team who are fighting relegation.

Flanker Jon Tenconi has recovered from bruising to his knee, but may have to be content with a place on the bench as Matt Payne excelled at No 6 at Redruth.

Bicester will be without Jon Rollason (work commitment) when they host Phoenix in the BB&O Premier Division, looking to boost their promotion hopes.
