HARLEQUINS HAVE ANNOUNCED THE SIDE THAT WILL TRAVEL TO
FRANKLIN’S GARDENS TO FACE NORTHAMPTON SAINTS ON FRIDAY 1
NOVEMBER IN THE GALLAGHER PREMIERSHIP.
Head of Rugby Paul Gustard has rotated the squad maintaining 16
players from last week’s 22-17 victory over Bristol Bears at The
Stoop, joined by seven players making their first Gallagher
Premiership appearance of the season.
Club stalwart Mark Lambert links up with Simon Kerrod and Elia
Elia in the front three with Scott Baldwin and Will Collier
taking a role as Game Changers. James Chisholm and Alex
Dombrandt start alongside Captain Chris Robshaw who moves across
to open side in the back row.
South African winger Travis Ismaiel will get his first run out
in the Gallagher Premiership, with the side’s top try scorer so
far this season Gabriel Ibitoye starting at 11.
Italian centre Michele Campagnaro is set to make his Harlequins
debut, having been named as a Game Changer.
Scrum half Charlie Mulchrone is in line to make his final
appearance for the Club before hanging up his playing boots as
he continues his transition into coaching at Quins.
Head of Rugby Paul Gustard said “We’re pleased with the progress
made from the squad and we are constantly energised by the
attitude and aptitude of the players. It has and is always my
intention to rotate the team and ensure that we encourage squad
harmony and cohesion by giving people opportunities in the shirt
for those that train with the positivity, energy and
determination that we want.
“We have recruited and retained a good depth and balance in our
squad and whilst two of our standouts for example from the
opening two fixtures in Tom Lawday and Will Evans are rotated
out, we are excited and delighted to include the significant
talents of James and Alex. We believe in the squad we have at
the Club and I need to find a way to give game time to players,
without compromising the flow and rhythm of the team. On top of
the current dynamic we are also steadily integrating some of our
Rugby World Cup representatives back at the club and Campo is in
line for his Club debut on Friday. He’s a strong and powerful
player who has settled in well with the squad, and our attacking
style of rugby.
“Friday will be Charlie Mulchrone’s last game for Quins, but it
will not be the end of his involvement with the Club as he moves
into his coaching transition role. We look forward to helping
him develop into a first-class coach by mentoring and supporting
our academy players. We thank Charlie for everything in his time
playing for Harlequins and we hope he enjoys a very special bow
out on Friday.”

Thats a really good side. I like this approach from PG, bit of
rotation. Keeps people on their toes. The front row getting
reward for last week. Dombrandt and baby Chisholm starting.
Been talk about why they are not involved etc. Sometimes I
think you just have to take it for what it is. We have a very
good squad now, we can mix n match, gives blokes a break etc.

I completely agree in principle. I guess I'm interested to see
if it works in practice across the season as a whole - I can't
think of too many sides that have used this approach, if we are
indeed talking about constant rotation week-to-week. In theory
though, I can't see how it can be a bad thing - and I'm sure
there will be players like Sinckler, Symons, Robshaw, Smith,
Marchant, Brown etc. who, when fit, will play - and provide a
spine of the team that you attach different "bones" to depending
on the opposition you're facing.

PG will have his "Best" 15/23 for the big games. In truth, how
often does a team get to put out their best side due to injury??
I would say that this kind of rotation will make it more
possible to put that best side out, we will not see players
being asked to play with little knocks here etc. Should keep
the players fresh and, when given a go raring to take it. He
has shown he rewards good performances so when you get the gig,
you know you have to take it as the next chance might be a few
weeks away.

I like the selection, and I like the logic behind it. Strong
bench too. The strength of depth we now have is unrecognisable
from previous seasons. This also bodes well for player welfare
and longevity.

I missed that announcement.
Great to see the rotation. On top of other comments above, it
should also ensure that everyone is able to play with everyone -
so when someone is injured/unavailable, their replacement will
be able to step in seamlessly and the team will not falter.
p.s. I hardly recognise any of that Saints squad!

Good to see Chis and Dombrandt back in.
Best of luck to Charlie in his last game and those making their
premiership / club debuts.
I do like the idea of rotating. In the past, we've played the
full strength team wherever possible and then thre's been an
injury and the person coming in is not up to scratch. Probably
most obvious with Nev's replacements, but same to an extent with
Robshaw, Brown and Care
