it will be interesting to see how Lloyd Evans goes at 15 - isn’t
he more usually a fly half?

Agree with most of this, although I’m a little bit surprised to
see Murley drop out of the 23.
Marchant usually does well on the wing though and Northmore is a
good player to bring in (even if I generally prefer him as an
impact player from the bench).
With Twelvetrees and Harris, their midfield will be very solid
defensively but it’s not particularly fast, so I think we might
see a lot of Andre at first receiver with Smith trying to move
the defence around.
I hate plastic pitches, but at least they limit the impact of
conditions a bit and while a fast track definitely suits Thorley
and LRZ, it probably suits us a bit better overall.

Yep. We need the forwards to front-up and we need discipline to
be good (as it has been for the most part). If we give them the
territory, their maul will cause us problems so best to avoid it
as much as we can.

Always happy to see Northmore in the starting XV, he is such a
class act. Some may say he is better off the bench but I think
he is quality in all that he does.
Shame Murley misses out. A victim of Covid or being rested?
Maybe each non-international player is having a week off at some
point, as with Kenners earlier.
Really looking forward to this one. My Glaws mate has booked us
tickets above the tunnel! We will make a racket for our boys!!!

Only just spotted that there are 19 EQPs in that squad (Gjaltema
is EQ) - including everyone from 1-11, with only Esterhuizen,
Green, Botta and Jones not EQ. 10 of the players are Academy,
two more got their first professional contracts at Quins and
Danny has spent his entire senior career here.
That’s a similar kind of squad makeup to the 2011-12 squad,
which is interesting in that our periods of success have
coincided with when we’ve had a big pool of players who have
only known Quins.

Ah yes, I think you might be right. He went off for an HIA on
Monday, I think.

Didn’t Danny have a season in the Premiership with Leeds before
they went down?

Yes, 14 games for Leeds in 2005/6.
