HARLEQUINS NAME TEAM TO PLAY NORTHAMPTON SAINTS (H)
Friday, 12th April 2019 @ 12:00
SAM HIDALGO-CLYNE GETS HIS FIRST START FOR THE CLUB AS QUINS
HOST NORTHAMPTON SAINTS FOR THEIR GALLAGHER PREMIERSHIP ROUND 19
MATCH AT THE STOOP ON SATURDAY (KICK OFF 15:00).
Scrum-half Sam Hidalgo-Clyne makes his first start for
Harlequins ahead of Danny Care who is ruled out through injury.
The Scotland international made his debut for the side in the
defeat to Sale Sharks last week, having joined Quins in March on
a short-term loan deal from Scarlets that will last until the
end of the season.
There is one other change in the starting backline that
travelled to the AJ Bell last week, with Marcus Smith replacing
Demetri Catrakilis at fly-half.
In the pack, front row Nick Auterac starts at loosehead with
Lewis Boyce named on the bench.
Amongst the Game Changers for tomorrow, Semi Kunatani provides
cover for the back row, with the versatile James Lang drafted
back in whom like Kunatani showed up strongly on Monday night.
Head of Rugby Paul Gustard said: “We’ve got a fantastic contest
in store for us against Northampton and, as a group, we’re
really looking forward to getting back in front of a full house
at The Stoop after three consecutive away matches. It’s a
massive game and we implore our fans to be our 16th man this
weekend.
“We’re in a great position in the league and we’ve worked
exceptionally hard all week to make sure we give a consistent
and disciplined performance.
“Our destiny is in our hands and I’m confident that the team
will rise to the challenge on Saturday.”

SHC is a pretty good replacement though. Glad to see Auterac
kept his place.

No Marler, Collier, Care and Marchant is far from ideal. Really
need them back asap.
Everyone needs to play well and Sinckler needs to make amends.
Not that confident about tomorrow but we shall see.

And the season is nearly over and Visser and Walker still
haven't bothered working their way into contention. Something
somewhere has gone horribly wrong with those two (yes I know
Visser had an injury in there but he wasn't making it before and
hasn't made it now he's back).
No Care is the one for me. He's made most of our chances this
season.

To be fair to Visser, has he been back fit that long??? Could
be that his injury was part of his issue before he had his op??
(I don't know this, just thinking out load)

Very happy with the team. Come on boys, get your heads screwed
on and keep focused!!!
Should be quite a high scoring game!
Auterac did well on Friday, looked steady with ball in hand.
Hidalgo-Clyne also looked good, zippy passing and busy; a good
replacement for our beloved DC!
Elsewhere, I hope Alofa gets a chance to run on Saturday. The
back three is great, as is the back row. And hooray for the
return of Marcus, my boys love him so much! As do I!!!!!

For me, much more important than who is actually playing is this
soundbite:

If that actually comes to fruition then I'm confident the guys
named will do the job. If not, then just like last week, we'll
hand Saints the game.

Wardie certainly has the ability to change the game
