CARE AND MARCHANT LINE UP AT SCRUM HALF AND OUTSIDE CENTRE;
HORWILL RETURNS IN THE SECOND ROW
Harlequins are boosted by the return of Danny Care, Will
Collier, James Horwill and Joe Marchant squad for Friday night's
important home fixture with Leicester Tigers (kick-off 7.45pm).
Care and Marchant return at scrum half and outside centre
respectively with Gabriel Ibitoye on the right wing in a set of
backs with considerable attacking potential.
Horwill returns in the second row and Collier is listed among
the game changers with Rob Buchanan who is set to make his first
home appearance this season after only returning to competitive
rugby a few weeks ago.
Joe Marchant touches down at Twickenham
Looking forward to the match, Harlequins Head of Rugby Paul
Gustard said: “Our performances of late have been pleasing as we
enter the final stretch of the season. We have demonstrated
throughout the year our resilience and tenacity and in the last
two weeks we have yet again shown how competitive we are with
strong outings at Clermont and Exeter.
“At Exeter we created a lot of pressure with our defence,
created a lot of space in our attack and dominated them with our
scrum. We know Leicester pride themselves in this area and have
a couple of ‘savvy’ operators so it’s a battle we look forward
to and one in which we will trust the referee to officiate the
Tigers keenly.
James Horwill returns for Leicester
“We are still fighting to be in the top four and we’ll be giving
our all for that tomorrow evening. Tigers are a strong outfit
with lots of excellent players and whose results don’t always
reflect their performances. They are a proud club and we will
respect them as we do all our opponents. That said we must focus
on ourselves as that’s all we can control. We have had a good
week’s preparation and we are pleased to welcome back a few of
our injured boys in this crucial fixture.
“We’re looking forward to seeing and hearing The Stoop rocking
and rolling tomorrow evening. ‘Friday Night Lights’ at home is
an incredible atmosphere and we want it full and we want it
loud!”

Leicester need to come away from the Stoop with two points to be
safe from relegation.

Wow! That looks good! We mean business!!!
Having Marchant back is a real surprise, I am so pleased! He has
had a terrific season. His understanding with Care is brilliant.
It goes without saying that Care's return is tremendous news
too! Hopefully, we can keep Hidalgo-Clyne next year.
Come on you Quins, we can do this!!!!
Anyone know why Saili is out? Such a shame, he is terrific.

I wonder if salli has to be managed game time wise, maybe linked
to his previous injuries. I would have him starting whenever he
is fit

I'd say that barring the wingers, that is our strongest starting
XV. Possibly swap Tapuai for Sailli, but it's a close call.
That is a very strong line up. I hope they fire on all cylinders
and get off to a fast start.
