Team v Sarries

Harlequins have named their matchday squad for Sunday's
Premiership Rugby Cup fixture against London rivals Saracens at
The Stoop (KO 14:30 - tickets here).
The starting XV features nine changes following last Friday's
25-17 defeat to Gloucester, with Billy Millard's squad bolstered
by the return of experienced prop Will Collier, flanker Will
Evans, number eight Alex Dombrandt and prolific wing Cadan
Murley.
Elsewhere, prop Fin Baxter makes his first appearance of the
season, locking down with hooker Sam Riley and Collier in the
front-row. Joe Launchbury earns his first start in a Quins
shirt, forming a strong second-row partnership with Club Captain
Stephan Lewies. On the flanks, Jack Kenningham shifts to
blindside, with the return of Evans and Dombrandt adding
firepower to the back-row.
In the halves, there's a Quins debut for former Bristol Bears
and Wasps scrum-half Will Porter. The 24-year-old, who joined
the Club this summer, will form an exciting combination with
versatile fly-half Will Edwards.
The centre partnership features a return for Luke Northmore who
makes his first start of the season at inside centre, alongside
Will Joseph who made an impressive debut last week. The
back-three sees Murley back in action, with Louis Lynagh on the
right wing and Nick David at fullback.
Amongst the Impact Players, there's a return for experienced
back-row James Chisholm for his 132nd Quins appearance.
Elsewhere, Academy hooker Nathan Jibulu returns to the 23
following starts against Coventry and Hartpury University.
Director of Rugby Billy Millard commented: "We've worked hard in
training this week to rectify the areas that let us down against
Gloucester. It was an important learning curve and the squad
have regrouped this week, and will be ready for another good
challenge against Saracens on Sunday."

TOM WOOLSTENCROFT SAYS THERE IS NO BETTER GAME TO CONTINUE
BUILDING MOMENTUM AS SARACENS MEN MAKE THE JOURNEY TO THE
TWICKENHAM STOOP TO TAKE ON HARLEQUINS IN THE NEXT ROUND OF THE
PREMIERSHIP RUGBY CUP ON SUNDAY.
The Men in Black head across London to face their local rivals
for the first derby of the 23/24 campaign, and will also be in
front of the TNT Sports Cameras.
Director of Rugby Mark McCall has made two changes to the
starting line-up from the big win over Nottingham, with Ollie
Stonham and Aled Davies both coming in to the XV.
Tom West, Tom Woolstencroft and Ollie Hoskins continue in the
front-row, with Nick Isiekwe moving back in to the second-row to
join Callum Hunter-Hill.
Stonham is rewarded for an energetic performance last week with
a start in the number six shirt, and he will be joined by Toby
Knight and Tom Willis in the back-row.
Davies has the in-form Manu Vunipola as his half-back partner,
with an unchanged midfield of Olly Hartley and captain Alex
Lozowski.
Alex Lewington continues on the left wing, Rotimi Segun will be
on the right and summer arrival Tom Parton keeps his place at
full-back.
On the bench Samson Adejimi will aim to make another big impact
from the bench, and Francis Moore returns to the squad after an
impressive display on loan at Ampthill against Leicester Tigers
last week.
Woolstencroft is excited to renew the rivalry with Harlequins
this weekend.
“We want to keep building momentum, and there is no better game
to get stuck into than a derby.
Every game against Quins is a big game and this is no different
for us. We took some strides forward last weekend and want to
build on that as we edge closer to the start of the Premiership
season.”

1 Tom West

When do we get worried Edwards may be starting an actual Prem
game… where’s Evans?!
I’d rather Slevin starts at 10 or even Benson

I was impressed with Edwards when he came onto the scene, as he
did fairly well in that TGB he came in, as well as Wasps away?
but it seems he's not actually developed any kicking game and
can be erratic which is a slight issue for a 10.
Slevin seems to have flown up the pecking order following his
age group England games, so would like to see him get a good 30
minutes in the 2nd.

Yep, still no Evans at 10. He must be broken. Which is a
nightmare coz Edwards had a few moments for a while but last
year was bin juice.

For those counting, I think that's 4 internationals in Sarries'
starting XV (Hoskins, Isiekwe, Davies, Lozowski)
And 4 in Quins' (Collier, both second rows, Dommers)

We've looked very preseason-y so far so I'm not expecting much
from this.
