Harlequins prop Paul Doran-Jones believes that it will be a "great experience" for him to make his home debut against former club Northampton Saints on Friday.
The 28-year-old signed for the Quins from Northampton ahead of the 2013-14 campaign to replace James Johnston.
"If it could have been drawn up, this is probably how I would have wanted it," Doran-Jones told BBC London 94.9. "It will be tough for both sides but it will be a great experience for me, with a packed house at the Stoop hopefully."
Doran-Jones spent two years with the Saints.
