Harlequins have been bolstered by the return of Andre
Esterhuizen for Saturday’s must-win Gallagher Premiership clash
with Bristol Bears at a sold-out Stoop (KO 15:05 – live on TNT
Sports).
The South African centre is one of four changes following the
defeat to Exeter Chiefs, with Fin Baxter, Will Evans and Danny
Care returning to the starting XV, while Impact Player James
Chisholm is set to make his 150th Harlequins appearance.
Up-front, Fin Baxter and Will Collier join hooker Jack Walker.
Irne Herbst and Stephan Lewies maintain their second-row
partnership, with Will Evans and Chandler Cunningham-South on
the flanks. Alex Dombrandt completes the pack at number eight.
In the backs, Danny Care and Marcus Smith reunite their halves
combination, with Andre Esterhuizen and Luke Northmore in the
midfield. Oscar Beard and Louis Lynagh start on the wings, with
Tyrone Green at fullback.
The Impact Players feature a five-three split with Sam Riley,
Simon Kerrod and Dillon Lewis covering the front-row, alongside
lock forward George Hammond and back-row James Chisholm. Will
Porter and Jarrod Evans provide cover in the halves, with centre
Will Joseph making his first appearance since January.
Director of Rugby Billy Millard commented: “This season has
presented several big moments for our squad, and we’ve been
proud of the way they have stood up and responded to the
challenge. This Saturday is another important moment in our
season. We know what is required and we’re determined to get the
job done. We’re looking forward to being back home at The Stoop
and playing in front of another sold-out crowd."

As good a side we could put out in the circumstances bar Walker
probably starting over Riley.
Very good Bristol side, who have been very consistent bar last
weekend. AJ is a big loss for them as I think he runs their
backline much better than Sheedy, but they've got a good pack
and some dangerous backs to marshall. Ibitoye scoring against us
is a banker

Gutted Murley is injured again, but great to see Joseph back

Should be a cracking game - though rain is predicted which could
make for some loose moments.
Closely matched starting XVs, but Quins may have an edge off the
bench - theirs looks quite inexperienced.

This is going to be an absolute gun-slinger of a game,
regardless of conditions. Would love a BP by half time and tough
out a win if needed but think another high scorer on the cards.
I'm going for 73 points in the game.
