Robshaw leads Harlequins for season opening fixture at The Stoop
Chris Robshaw will captain Harlequins for the club’s opening
Gallagher Premiership fixture of the season at The Twickenham
Stoop tomorrow afternoon (kick-off 15:00).
The England international leads a strong team that includes
eight full internationals in the starting line-up among them
Mike Brown who will be making his 299th appearance in Harlequins
colours.
Head of Rugby Paul Gustard has also selected four of the club’s
summer signings in the match day squad – Nathan Earle, Paul
Lasike, Matt Symons and Ben Tapuai will make their debuts.
Commenting on his first Premiership selection, Gustard said,
“The pre-season matches gave an opportunity for all our players
to stake a claim for a position in tomorrow’s match 23 and allow
my coaching team the chance to see different combinations. We
have selected a squad that will exhibit the resilience,
toughness and attacking flair that we want our teams to show.
"As for our visitors, Steve Diamond has been developing a
competitive squad full of internationals and star quality and we
are looking forward to the challenge his team will bring.”

I would think a big threat from Sale is in their back 3 , Walker
and Visser are strong going forward but not known for their
defence .. could be tactical and they think Earle and Morris
are stronger there .

I've definitely seen stronger teams though there's some areas on
strength in there for sure. Visser and Walker must be carrying
knocks as I can't see much of a reason to play Morris there
otherwise. All of the back 3 can play full back though.

Hmm, must stay positive. Surprised to see Morris on the wing,
where is Alofa, Walker, Visser, Ibitoye?
2nd Row - is Lamb converting to 2nd row? or are they all broken?

I will be positive and treat this as an opportunity to be
impressed with lamb and morris in the starters, and crumpton and
swainston on the bench.
Interested to see how Wallace is used under new management
before passing judgement.

one positive from the first team selection is that we have a lot
of good players to come back.
