Chisholm and J Evans were injured for last week, so we may not
see them either. I suspect Lawday will come in, with Edwards
starting at 10.

Lawday was in the social media stuff this week, so may be back.
The club seem to prefer Archie as an 8 when starting IIRC.

So we're expecting a side something like;
Cronin, Montoya, Richardson
Wells, Carter
Liebenburg, Weise, Ilione
Youngs, Pollard
Kata, Kelly
OHC, Brown, Watson/Bassett
Vanes, van Wyk, Hoyt, Chessum Jnr, Hatherall, Whiteley,
Shillcock, Scott

If all fit, I'd be going with Lawday, Chisholm and Evans in the
backrow. I think that's an unlikely scenario so I'd expect to
see Hammond move blindside and Launchbury and Irne in the second
row with Arthur Clark on the bench.
We tend to go with an extra lineout option against Tigers so
Hammond at blindside makes sense in the absence of Lamb,
Kenningham and CCS.
We could really do with Chis being fit. Looking a bit short of
big carriers otherwise.
Is Jarrod Evans even back training? Would be a real boost if
he's fit to play but I'd assume it'll be Edwards.

Hopefully Chisholm and JE are in contention this week. I think a
backrow of Chisholm, Evans and Lawday at 8 would be a good
balance.
Potentially a very good Tigers backline, so will be a tough
contest.

He was also warming up before the Ulster game, so must have been
close to being ready to play.

It really is pathetic than with 3 fewer teams and a long gap
with no rugby they still manage to have a clash

I must admit I agree. While having a break in the Premiership
for the 6 Nations seems a good idea, it is ridiculous that teams
should be without their England players for a Premiership game
in the run up to the competition. There must have been a better
way to schedule this.

They could've moved the fixture to the other side of the 6N.
Just another sign of the disdain the RFU has for club rugby and
season ticket holders. Quins v Tigers on a Friday night (or
anytime for that matter) is a big game, and it's disappointing
that the teams won't be fully loaded.
In such a tight league, player availability for this round could
have a significant impact on overall positions come the end of
the season.
Looks like Tigers are down to the bare bones at tighthead
(unless Heyes or Cole are released back) and looks like we're
potentially light in the backrow. Shame.
