Harlequins stalwart Joe Marler is in line to make his 250th
appearance for Harlequins this Sunday as he leads out the Club
in front of a sold-out Stoop as Leicester Tigers travel to South
West London.
This Sunday’s fixture, live on BT Sport, 15:00 kick-off, also
marks the return of Springbok centre Andre Esterhuizen. The
five-times-capped South African centre returns to reclaim a
starting berth at inside centre as he makes his 50th appearance
in the Famous Quarters since arriving in 2020.
Aside from Esterhuizen’s return Quins’ coaches have left an
unchanged starting line-up to the side that claimed a dramatic
35-29 victory over Northampton Saints during Round Four.
Returning from injury, hooker George Head will look to make his
first matchday appearance since Round Three from amongst the
Impact Players. The bench remains otherwise unchanged for Quins
this week.
Commenting, Head Coach Tabai Matson said: “First and foremost, a
huge congratulations to Joe for his 250th and Andre for his 50th
appearances this week. They are two monumentally physical
players that have given everything to the Club from their first
games in the jersey.
“Leicester are the incumbent champions, so we’re looking forward
to bouncing back to The Stoop after a week without a game.
“They’ve lost two in a row and so we’re expecting a massive
spring back from them this week so we have to be at our best.
We’ve had a weekend off and we can’t use that as an excuse to
start slow.
“Also, their game is attritional and effective. They’re in for
the long haul. Their discipline is relentless and it’s a long
old season so you can see them still being in contention for the
title at the end of the league. So, we’ve got to have a good
game plan on Sunday to put them under pressure.”

Two good side, we have to fancy it up front although their back
row is pretty fierce.
As most of us thought, Lennox drops out which is a shame but you
can't leave Andre out for this and you've got to fancy our
midfield to dance over theirs. Very excited for this

Potter at 13 is interesting, not sure I’ve seen him play there
before. Should be an entertaining game.

Will be a tough game. Read nothing into Tigers recent results as
that's a tough side they have out.
Andre back is massive for us, but both sides have some key edges
over each other. Front row I think we shade it, but the rest of
their pack is fairly hefty.
9/10/12/13 we have the advantage in my books but the back 3 for
both sides is potent

Interesting that we no longer include "players unavailable" in
the team announcements....is that because we actually have a bit
of an injury crisis?
Have to say I've lost track of who's injured and when they're
back. Have we heard anything about return dates for:
Lewies
Collier
Dombrandt
Lynagh
Lawday
Morris
Chisholm?

We'll be lucky to score at all.
In fact, I am certain that we will end up with negative points.
