Harlequins have named their squad for Friday's Gallagher
Premiership fixture against Sale Sharks at a sold-out Twickenham
Stoop (KO 19:45 - live on TNT Sports).
The matchday 23 has been bolstered by the return of experienced
trio Joe Marler, Will Collier and Joe Launchbury, with Chandler
Cunningham-South selected to make his first Premiership start in
the Quarters.
The forward pack features a full front-row reshuffle with the
return of Marler and Collier alongside Sam Riley at hooker.
Launchbury forms a new second-row partnership with Dino Lamb,
with Cunningham-South named at openside flanker, alongside Will
Evans at blindside and skipper Alex Dombrandt at number eight.
In the backs, Danny Care and Marcus Smith continue at scrum-half
and fly-half, with Andre Esterhuizen and Will Joseph in the
midfield. Cadan Murley switches to the left wing alongside the
returning Nick David on the right wing. Tyrone Green continues
at fullback.
The Impact Players feature a good mix of talent and experience
with Academy hooker Nathan Jibulu joining the likes of props Fin
Baxter and Dillon Lewis, second-row Irne Herbst and back-row
James Chisholm. Scrum-half Will Porter, fly-half Jarrod Evans
and utility back Oscar Beard provide plenty of options in
attack.
Director of Rugby Billy Millard commented: “We’re looking
forward to the challenge on Friday. We're back at The Stoop and
we want to put in a better performance against a Sale team who
are currently top of the league. It will be a tough contest and
we can't wait for it."

Probably the best team we could put out, although interesting
Louis has been dropped as opposed to being unavailable for
selection.

I imagine his less than impressive appearance against Saints,
compared against the positive contributions this season from
Riley/Jibulu probably made the decision fairly easy for BM. They
both are in possession of that shirt now and it's down for
Walker to earn his start again when the drop off in performance
happens with Riley/Jibulu. It's the right call as no shirt
should really be seen as a given

Sale are too strong for us. A losing bonus point would be the
best we can expect, I reckon.[emoji17] But, I HOPE that I am
TOTALLY WRONG !!!!!

I dunno. I think both teams play in the best style for beating
the other.
Quins seem to have been more susceptible to power teams whereas
Sale are undone by teams who go wide and round our narrow
defence.
On any day, it is the team who best plays their gameplan (and
nullifies the oppo) that wins and either is capable of doing so
- as last season’s two away wins showed.
