HARLEQUINS SQUAD ANNOUNCED FOR TRIP TO THE REC
Friday, 21st February 2020 @ 12:00
WELSH INTERNATIONAL SCOTT BALDWIN WILL MAKE HIS FIRST START
SINCE NOVEMBER ON SATURDAY AGAINST BATH, HAVING RETURNED FROM
INJURY OFF THE BENCH LAST WEEKEND.
Club Captain Chris Robshaw returns to the side after missing the
past two matches through illness, forming a powerful back row
alongside James Chisholm and Alex Dombrandt.
Danny Care is returned to the starting XV, as is Tom Penny who
re-claims the number 13 shirt after missing last week against
London Irish with injury. Penny’s return means that Cadan Murley
returns to the wing, alongside fellow try-scoring winger Gabs
Ibitoye on the other side.
Matt Symons and Stephan Lewies have both been ruled out through
injury meaning that Scottish lock Glen Young continues in the
second row next to Fijian international Tevita Cavubati.
Head of Rugby at Harlequins, Paul Gustard said: “Last week we
didn’t get the result we wanted against a very strong London
Irish. A number of errors cost us the game and, regardless of
the conditions, we came up short so we have worked hard this
week to address those areas of our game to ensure we are in a
strong place heading down to The Rec. The game was a lot tighter
than the score line suggested with two late scores on the back
of our mistakes after sustained pressure and territory that we
failed to convert.
“We have played at Bath already this season, coming away with
two wins against them in the Heineken Champions Cup, but we know
that Saturday will present a different challenge with both sides
aiming to push up the league table. Bath come into this game off
the back of two narrow victories against Leicester and
Worcester, so will be hoping to maintain momentum.
“Growth is never linear, and we have encountered bumps on the
road this season. However, the faith the backroom staff have in
the players is constant. We know we have a very capable group of
men who can do extraordinary things. As with most things in
sport, you need to work hard to get what you want, and this
group works hard. We look forward to Saturday.”

23 players named. 23 players not available through injury and
otehr duties. How many does that leave that were available for
selection? That said it looks a good team and we have seen what
they are capable of - excusing last weeks performance in awfukl
conditions. COYQs

Ross Chisholm isn't listed as injured, so he could have been
listed on the bench. It may have been a conscious tactical
choice to have a 6/2 split on the bench

Im happy with the 6 2 split to be honest as the forward
available are better the available backs. Just have to play a
very strong game upfront and dominate them from the get go to
prevent bath backs getting any quickball

Good to see Penny back fit. Going to be tough down there
regardless. Not expecting much after last weekend to be honest.

Part of the reason for the 6/2 split may also be in anticipation
of of it being a slog through the mud, given how the Rec can be
when it's recently rained. Plus you could always put Semi in
alonside Lasike later on in the game. Imagine that pairing
running at you!

Update: The club have just tweeted a 3min video from Gussy
explaining the team selection. It can be found HERE
