> HARLEQUINS COACHING GROUP HAS MADE THREE CHANGES TO THE
STARTING XV AS THE CLUB RETURN TO EUROPEAN ACTION
>
>
> Travelling to the Cardiff Arms Park this Friday Dino Lamb,
James Chisholm and Louis Lynagh return to the starting XV as
Quins step back into European action having claimed two wins
from two during the first rounds of the competition.
>
> Off the back of announcing new deals with the Club earlier
this week, number eight Alex Dombrandt and centre Luke Northmore
retain starting berths this Friday. Northmore switches from
outside to inside centre this week, with Joe Marchant shifting
into the midfield as Lynagh takes up the 14 jersey.
>
> Lamb steps into the starting line-up in place of Hugh Tizard,
who is named on the bench, with Chisholm returning to the
backrow following injury to flanker Jack Kenningham last
weekend.
>
> Returning to the matchday 23 amongst the Impact Players,
hooker Sam Riley, Tongan international Viliami Taulani and
scrum-half Jack Stafford also return to the 23 amongst the
Impact Players, wearing the 16, 20 and 21 jerseys respectively.
>
> Previewing the fixture, Scrum Coach Adam Jones said: “The fact
that we’re going into a big European game being two from two has
certainly perked everyone up a bit this week. The whole squad
are excited to get stuck back into a big European clash.
>
> “When Cardiff came to our ground last time out they showed,
despite having such a disrupted squad, they could fight fire
with fire. There were a lot of boys that weren’t even in the
Cardiff squad and showed themselves worthy of regional
selection.
>
> “There’s a lot of internationals in their team and they can
certainly help raise the bar in these big games. That’s going to
be a challenge for us this week and we’re going to have to stem
the flow of passion and aggression that will come our way.
>
> “It’s the old Wales-England game, isn’t it? Two capital city
centre teams. We’re expecting a tough game down there. We know
they’ll want to have a crack at the English champions and it’ll
be up to us to match it, and we will. We know what we can do
when we get down there.”

line-up as Harlequins visit the Arms Park for Friday’s Heineken
Champions Cup clash (KO 8.00pm).

> A number of senior stars will make their first European
appearance of the season, having missed the opening two rounds
of action following well-documented travel restrictions in South
Africa.

> After missing out on last week’s trip to Edinburgh, British
and Irish Lion Josh Adams is introduced back onto the wing,
joining Owen Lane and the returning Hallam Amos in an
all-international back three.

> Willis Halaholo and Rey Lee-Lo continue their partnership in
midfield while a new-look half back duo of Jarrod Evans and
Tomos Williams is welcomed back, having featured from the bench
in the Scottish capital.
>
> Hooker Kirby Myhill is passed fit to take his place in an
unchanged front row, but skipper Josh Turnbull switches to the
second row to combine with Seb Davies in the boiler room.
>
> The side is completed as Shane Lewis-Hughes, Ellis Jenkins and
James Ratti are given the nod in the back row.

rugby Dai Young said: “We can be really proud of the way the
group came together to perform admirably in the opening two
rounds in Europe back in December.
>
> “The senior guys did a great job to lead the more
inexperienced players during that period and they’ve taken
confidence from that. I’d like to think it brought us a bit
closer together. It was a difficult period but we stuck together
and hopefully we’ve come out as a closer unit.

> “For all the positives however, they were two defeats and we
want to win every game we are involved in. We are determined to
go one better this time around but know the quality that we
face.

> “With the way the competition is set out this year, we know
that every point will be crucial and we’re really excited for
the challenge on Friday against a good Quins outfit.
>

been no time to feel sorry for ourselves. Training has been
sharp in the build and we’re looking forward for the opportunity
to bounce back as we return to play at the Arms Park."

his place on the bench, with Ben Thomas in line for his first
Blue and Blacks outing since October.

I can imagine Cardiff will be pleased to see Andre rested. Green
starting again is a surprise, not because of his performance but
because of his playing minutes - but obviously the club know
best.
Very good side though against a Cardiff team who don’t know when
they’re beaten.
Injured list isn’t huge, but by my reckoning 6 of the 8 on that
list would be in a match day squad for a final, lots of quality.
And what on Earth is going on with Nick David?

Glad to see Andre rested as he will be even more integral during
6N!
Interesting one this as that is quite a handy Cardiff side and
with Ellis Jenkins we may struggle at breakdown.

Yes, it seems like it's Andre's turn to be rested. Makes sense
really, he'd had a busy few months.
WEv is fit enough to go to the football so hopefully he's not a
million miles away from a return to training. He's been posting
pictures on his social media of his travails supporting Norwich.
Poor guy!

Cardiff will want a result here - they have a season to kick
into gear; they are at home and playing English Champs - what
more motivation do they need?
Tough game, but one we can win if we keep our heads together.

Decent team, and decent looking Cardiff team. Sensible to rest
Andre
I was massively frustrated with Green last week, but let's put
it down to a one off mare. Not sure it was down to fatigue or
anything like that - just one of those shockers. So probably is
best to give him a chance to right the wrongs straight away.
next week might be a chance to rest a couple of players given
the French attitude to away games, especially if they're already
out of the reckoning

Interested to see how our backrow goes. Personally I think its a
bit slow and we will miss Kenningham big time. If Evans is still
out for a while, I think we need to look at a specialist 7..as
also whats the point in having Wallace on the pay roll? Id
rather have given him a go here to see if he could be a genuine
option rather than just a tacklebag carrier.
Also, if there was any game to give Nick David minutes it was
this..so again, a bit of a strange decision to not rest Green.
