Team vs Bath - Champions Cup
DIR By: WellingQuin

---------------------------------------------------------
Friendly reminder that it's a 17:30 kick-off.
HARLEQUINS HAS ANNOUNCED ITS SQUAD TO FACE BATH RUGBY IN ROUND
TWO OF THE HEINEKEN CHAMPIONS CUP.
Included in the starting line-up is Rugby World Cup finalist Joe
Marler, who makes his first appearance for Harlequins this
season.
Scrum half Danny Care will run out at The Stoop for the first
time this campaign, having returned from injury and featuring
against ASM Clermont Auvergne last week. Italian international
Michele Campagnaro makes his first start for the Club, in what
will be his second performance in front of a home crowd in
South-West London.
Also in line for their first appearances of the 2019/20 season
are Semi Kunatani and Paul Lasike who are two of four
experienced internationals named as Game Changers alongside
Tevita Cavubati and Santiago Garcia Botta.
Elia Elia starts at hooker with Academy player George Head
confirmed at 16 and is in line to make his Harlequins debut on
Saturday.
Head of Rugby Paul Gustard said: “We have had a good week
training and put the result from last week behind us. The boys
have shown great character and togetherness and are looking
forward to playing on Saturday as we welcome Champions Cup rugby
back to The Stoop. We have mixed up our training week and
changed a few things around which has been aided by the return
of big Sink and Joe Marler. They are two big personalities whom
are both well-loved at the Club, and it’s great to see them
around the facility once more.
“We know Saturday represents an opportunity to put our learnings
into practice against a strong Bath team and put together a
performance we can be proud of.”

It's a shame to see that Saili & Tapuai are both on the injury
list.

I agree they look too strong for us, and yet another new centre
combination. Yet another good week of training lets see if that
make a jot of difference on the pitch. Will be giving them all
my support though !

Shame Goneva didn't make it, might need a big fella like him to
stop Roka?

Bath look stronger to me but still a decent team.
Good to see brown is ok.
Campagnaro has looked decent in his cameos so far.
Landajo dropped altogether and gabs dropped too.
Really need lineout to function. 3 injured hookers isn't ideal

Nice looking team. I keep thinking that some time soon our team
will properly click, and we will absolutely tear the opposition
to pieces (as happened to us last week). Hopefully this weekend
will be the start of a turnaround in fortunes.
