We're gonna get mullered 😉

Head of Rugby Paul Gustard has named the final team of 2020, as
Harlequins host Bristol Bears at The Twickenham Stoop on Boxing
Day.
Gustard has made six changes to the side that faced Racing 92
last weekend. Loosehead prop Jordan Els comes in for his first
start of the season in place of England prop Joe Marler, who is
rested this week.
Second row Dino Lam returns to fitness to earn his first start
of the season after being named on the bench against Racing last
week, rotating into the starting lineup in place of academy lock
Hugh Tizard, who has impressed over the last few weeks.
On the blindside, James Chisholm rotates in for Tom Lawday, who
takes up a spot as one of the Club's Impact Players. Scotland
centre James Lang starts at outside centre alongside Australian
international Ben Tapuai.
Ross Chisholm starts on one wing while academy player Louis
Lynagh earns his first Gallagher Premiership start in the
fourteen jersey, having debuted in the competition in the final
game of the 2019/20 season away to Leicester Tigers.
Amongst the Impact Players, centre Lennox Anyanwu is set to make
his first senior Club appearance should he enter the field of
play. Alongside Anyanwu, Argentinian international scrum-half
Martin Landajo returns from injury to take up the 21 jersey.
Commenting ahead of the fixture, Gustard said: "We have been
happy with the way the boys have responded to our very
disappointing performance against Racing last weekend, where we
underperformed massively when compared to our capabilities. We
believe the previous four weeks were more of a reflection of our
current form, and training has reflected this attitude and
belief.
"Unfortunately, we picked up a few injuries against Racing. But
in this presents an excellent opportunity for some of our squad
members to put their best foot forward. We are delighted to see
Louis Lynagh make his first Premiership start, another product
of our academy. Joining him in the match 23, the hugely popular
Lennox Anyanwu makes his first senior appearance as an Impact
Player.
"We welcome back Martin Landajo into the match 23 as he has made
a rapid recovery from injury as he takes his place as an Impact
Player alongside the rotated Hugh Tizard and Tom Lawday; who
have both been very good in recent weeks. In their place Dino
Lamb and James Chisholm come into the team"

Lewies supposedly only just missed out a few weeks ago. Not a
word since. Cavubati really isn't rated is he?
Odd to start marler in a dead rubber last week then rest him
this week.
Bare bones in back 3 already
Not confident

I think it needed a shake up, whether due to injury or not

Ashton presumably dropped entirely for his display last week
Huge swathes of that team are second/third choice so not
expecting any festive cheer!

Fairly weak line up..bit of a scout jamboree suddenly thrown in
to face a top top side. I’ll happily admit I was wrong but
otherwise 12-38 type scoreline incoming

Can't do much worse than last weeks performance - but don't see
us getting anything out of this game now unfortunately. I wish
Gustard had focused on the Premiership and used the European
games to give others a run out. Has Ashton played his last game
for Quins?

When you look at the Bears team
Well, let’s just say it could be a long 80 minutes

Look on the bright side
It could have been played in front of 75000 across the road !!
Lewies confuses me as he only withdrew at the last minute before
the Saints game yet remains on the injury list and not sure why
we have chosen to rest Marchant again..
Will be nice to see the new young centre if he gets on and also
see a bit more of what Green has to offer.
Anyway stranger things have happened
