Joe Marchant in action
England internationals Joe Marchant and Will Collier earn their
first starts of the season having appeared from the bench during
last weekend’s opening round victory over Newcastle.
Marchant starts on the right wing in place of Nick David, who
drops out of the team due to injury, seeing Lennox Anyanwu and
Luke Northmore continuing the centre partnership established
during pre-season.
Flanker Will Evans will also earn his first start of the season,
replacing Tom Lawday at openside flanker. Archie White returns
to the matchday squad in the 20 jersey, with Tom Lawday dropping
from the squad having left the field due to injury during last
week’s victory over Newcastle.
Amongst the Impact Players, Academy centre Hayden Hyde will look
to make his Gallagher Premiership debut from the 23 jersey, with
the youngster impressing during pre-season and whilst on loan
with partner club London Scottish.
Summer signing Irne Herbst will make his first competitive
appearance at the Stoop in front of a sold-out crowd, while
hooker George Head and centre Anyanwu play their first home
matches as senior players in front of a packed-out home
audience.
Both homegrown players made impressive starts to their senior
careers with Harlequins last weekend, with Head seeing Quins
claim a 100% record at the lineout (the only club to do so
during round one) while Anyanwu claimed a length of the field
team try that would go on to be runner-up for the try of the
week.
Alex Dombrandt continues to lead the side as Club Captain
Stephan Lewies returns from injury.
Danny Care continues to rehabilitate a minor muscle strain
sustained during pre-season, looking to return to the Harlequins
matchday squad over the next two weeks.
Unfortunately for the Club, fly-half Marcus Smith was not given
clearance to play this week and will continue his mandated rest
period following England’s summer internationals.
Head Coach Tabai Matson said: “It was an entertaining first
blowout in Newcastle last week. In the end, we were pretty happy
with the result. In that first game of the year, you want to see
what you’ve been working on in pre-season put into the game and
get a look at how some things work and how others don’t.
“All in all we saw what we wanted to see from that first hit
out, with plenty for us to go back and have a think about for
the season ahead. We scored six tries, which was good, and
created some opportunities with some new combinations that
haven’t played together before. Overall, we were pretty positive
off the back of that first hit-out.
“We have a great challenge this week against some old rivals in
what should be an entertaining all-London clash in front of a
sold-out Stoop."

This feels like a thinly-veiled, barbed attack on the absolute
farce that these mandated rest periods have become - Itoje,
Billy V and Farrell all starting for Sarries, with George on the
bench.

We’ll be hoping for a fast game with lots of action at the
breakdown, then. Shame not to have Marcus or Andre, but them
aside it’s one of the strongest XXIIIs we could put out. Only 6
internationals to their 12, though.
Going to be a tough game.

But yet, how many international are they allowed to play. All
teams are equal, some are more qual than others !!!

Does this really surprise anyone? Look at their behaviour over
the last decade. Leopards, spots etc. Goes to show how desperate
they are to win their cup final against Quins though.

Smith not cleared to play, but Farrell, Itoje, Billy, George all
fine to play despite playing the prem final in addition to all 3
tests? That is an absolute joke

How does the return to play/clearance decision work?

No know. It seems all bar our request for Smith to play have
been allowed. Either you let all clubs manage their players’
minutes or you let none. It’s frankly a joke and brings the
league’s integrity into question. Smith, a young lad with no
history of injuries has to take time off and is a back with less
‘serious collision’. But the injury prone players of Farrell,
the Vunipolas, Itoje and George can come back when they want
