Re: Challenge Cup QF - Team vs Worcester

Just want to say congratulations to Will Collier and Ross
Chisholm on reaching their 150 and 100 appearance milestones
respectively. They have both been wonderful servants of
Harlequins Rugby Club for many years. They have had their share
of injuries but they keep coming back for more. Well done lads
and I hope the team can bring home the win for you tomorrow
night.
My best memory of Ross so far must be the time we scored that
fab try away at Glos (2 seasons ago?) which started deep in our
own half and ended up with Ross gassing the entire Glos back
three. Magic! I can't remember one for Will (being a prop!) but
i will take his memory of shoving the Wasps scrum over the line
for a try....
The video with Will and Lambo on the club website is amusing
stuff.

I'm a bit disappointed that Gussy has chosen to rest some key
players for this fixture especially as I'm going to the game.
Whilst Top 6 in the Prem seems to be a priority and Top 4 a
target now, I think the selection betrays a lack of ambition to
progress in this competition and underestimates the incentive
for the fans. Saracens and Exeter are clear favourites for the
Prem final so I'm not sure a SF fixture will do us much good,
and whilst I'd be the first to prefer some high profile
Champions Cup fixtures next year, we have struggled to progress
beyond the Group Stages. Our only realistic chance of silverware
this year could be the Challenge Cup and a trip to Clermont for
an upset would be most appealing ! Hopefully the squad will step
up tomorrow and I'll be proved wrong.

Sinck has to be rested, Marler has a knock, Robson injured, same
for Marchant, Earle Needs. Break, think we’ve gone with pretty
much best available

I don’t agree with the conclusion above but he has said he’s
rested Earle, Dombrandt, Symonds and Sink (agreed on Sink that
he probably has to).
However - Murley was one of our best players before injury,
front row is still strong, and Bothma, Robshaw, Clifford isn’t
shabby either.
Alofa has earned his place on recent outing.
So barring the change of Symons for Merrick I don’t agree that
it’s a significantly weaker side. (and he got his finger put
back in last week....)

I’m sure “Gussy” won’t disappoint you next time...
