Harlequins back row James Chisholm's LV= Cup form has earned him a starting debut for Championship outfit London Scottish on Friday night.

The England U20 international is one of three changes to head coach James Buckland's starting line-up which sees the dual-registered player replace Chris Walker - who is ill - and front row pair Adam Kwasnicki and Ben Prescott come in for Todd Gleave and Max Maidment respectively.

Chisholm, who will miss Quins trip to Gloucester, starred with two tries in his parent club's 31-21 win over Newport Gwent Dragons last week and Buckland could not be happier to have him on board.

"James has played fantastically well for Harlequins over the past couple of weeks and I think he has been unfortunate not to get in their main starting line-up," he said.

"He has given the squad a whole lift this week and we are very grateful to have him.”

The Scots host Jersey looking to return to winning ways after losing 16-9 to Moseley at Billesley Common last week.

"We have used that defeat as a lesson and put it to good use going into this week," added Buckland.

"Jersey are a club we very much respect and they have been galvanised since staying up last season and pushed on.

"They have brought a bit more of an expansion to their game and have a couple of dangerous half backs and big set piece.

"They are a shrewd outfit and we need to be on top of our game to get the win.”

There will be a minute's silence observed before Friday's game in memory of Colonel Sir Thomas Macpherson of Biallid CBE MC TD DL, who passed away last Thursday, aged 94.

Sir Thomas is one of the most decorated soldiers of World War Two and was a regular player at fly half for London Scottish from 1946 to 1955.
