Team's Up!

HARLEQUINS’ COACHING GROUP HAS NAMED THE SIDE TO TRAVEL TO SALE
SHARKS THIS FRIDAY FOR THE PENULTIMATE ROUND OF THE REGULAR
GALLAGHER PREMIERSHIP SEASON
Quins’ coaching contingent has opted to ring the changes this
weekend with 10 changes to the side that claimed a high-scoring
win in front of Quins’ fans in South West London last weekend,
with Club Captain Stephan Lewies, back row Tom Lawday, fly-half
James Lang, centre Joe Marchant and fullback Tyrone Green the
only players to retain their starting slots.
Openside Luke Wallace starts for Harlequins for the first time
since 2019 having rejoined the Club from league rivals Leicester
Tigers last weekend and is set to add to his 169 appearances in
the Quarters between 2009 and 2019.
Also amongst the changes, England U20 man Oscar Beard is set to
make his Club and Gallagher Premiership debut on the wing,
joining Green and Aaron Morris to form the back three.
Quins also welcome back Scott Steele and Louis Lynagh from
spells side-lined through injury to take up spots amongst the
Impact Players in the 21 and 23 jerseys respectively. Also
returned to fitness this week after overcoming an achilles
injury is tighthead prop Craig Trenier, who will add further
depth to the three jersey for the end of season run-in.
Commenting ahead of the game, Scrum Coach Adam Jones said:
“We’ve had a couple of competitive encounters with Sale over the
last year, so we’re fairly well versed with the style of rugby
they like to play.
“They’re a physical side who will punish you with the core
fundamentals of their game, so we know we will have to be
focused and disciplined to get a result.
“It’s great to see Luke Wallace back in the Quins jersey this
weekend. He’s slotted back into the Club like he never left this
week and I know how excited he is to run out for Quins again.
“It’s equally as exciting for us to see Oscar Beard getting his
first chance in the senior side on the wing. Oscar is just one
of the young guys who have stood up this season and are taking
their chance.
“It’s been fantastic for everyone at the Club to see people like
Oscar and Jack Kenningham stand out for us this season, and we
fully back Oscar to go from strength to strength going forward
as more young boys get their chances to compete for a starting
place.”

I count four first-choice players in that squad of 23. Clearly a
very tactical selection.

I'm happy enough with this. Rest a few key players, give others
a run out.

I see that Herron can't even get in as fourth choice fly half.

Whilst it’s great seeing Lynagh, Steele and Trenier off the
injury list, must be incredibly disappointing for Earle to be
out again. Think Beard might surprise a few people, really
talented player. Interesting that Baxter is the replacement
loosehead as he came through as a tightness, wonder if that’s a
permanent swap or just to get involved in games whilst he
develops.

Fair enough to give some players a rest. I'll just be watching
it from behind the sofa as I can probably see 50+ being scored
by Sale on their recent form, with Manu finding form.

I'd go three - Lewes, Green and Marchant.

Not sure I like to see so many changes, but we are already in
the playoffs so probably the right decision.
I hope we still put out a stronger team at home for the final
game.

Looks a very Sale side... think we may be getting a hiding.
