Harlequins announce squad to play Worcester Warriors
Cadan Murley will make his Premiership debut for Harlequins when
they play Worcester Warriors in the Gallagher Premiership at
Sixways on Friday evening (kick-off: 19:45).
Academy-product Murley, who has impressed on the right wing in
the Premiership Rugby Cup this season, is the only change in the
back line from the team that beat Newcastle Falcons last week.
There are two changes in the forwards with Joe Marler and Max
Crumpton returning to the front row, having come on as Game
Changers against Falcons. Alex Dombrandt, who scored his third
try of the season last week, starts again in the back row while
number 8 James Chisholm leads the side although James Horwill,
the Club’s co-captain, returns from injury and is named among
the Game Changers.
Harlequins Head of Rugby Paul Gustard said: “We thoroughly
deserved our win against Newcastle Falcons in the Gallagher
Premiership last week and now we look forward to building on
that performance.
“Our defence was excellent last week as it has been all season
and from an attacking point of view we created a lot of
opportunities but failed to recognise the space, and some
execution around the breakdown limited our ability to build on
momentum and develop a larger lead.
“Our league position is a fair reflection of the season so far
and is reward for the bonus points we have picked up due to our
tenacity and togetherness. We want to continue to develop and
grow as a team and put together our best 80 minutes on Friday
night.
“Cadan Murley has earned his place in our starting XV with an
excellent attitude in training all season and a couple of
impactful performances in the Premiership Rugby Cup. He is very
coachable and diligent with his personal development and is duly
rewarded.
“We know that Worcester are a well-coached and very capable side
with multiple threats and all of the squad are looking forward
to the challenge ahead.”

I really like the look of this team. There is quality and
togetherness throughout. I don't consider us to have too many
troublesome egos (we have nice egos!) but this group look really
in it for each other, not for themselves. Well done Gussie, the
change in focus and culture seems to be shaping up well.
The other day I said we would win it by 7. I now think we will
win it by 8!
Come on you Quins!

Murley's a bit of a shock. Morris, Ibitoye, Alofa and Visser
seemingly all injured, but what about Walker? He seems
completely in the cold now.
Pretty decent side and a strong bench. High hopes.

New England cap Ted Hill will return to club action with
Worcester Warriors in Friday’s Gallagher Premiership match
against Harlequins at Sixways (kick-off 7.45pm).
Hill, 19, made his England debut as a 74th minute replacement in
their win over Japan at Twickenham last Saturday.
He trained with England again on Monday and Tuesday ahead of
this weekend’s match against Australia before being released
back to Warriors.
Hill will make his second Premiership start against Harlequins
in a re-jigged back row which sees Matt Cox, a replacement at
Bath last week, start at number eight in place of GJ van Velze
who has been ruled out by a shoulder joint injury. Centre Ryan
Mills will captain Warriors in van Velze’s absence.
The third change to the side that played at Bath is in the
second row where Pierce Phillips will partner Anton Bresler.
Warriors are again missing centre Ben Te’o, wing Josh Adams and
hooker Joe Taufete’e who are on international duty with England,
Wales and USA respectively.

Good team, winnable-but-not-easy match!
Liking the squad rotation and fighting for the shirt seems to be
creating a much better attitude all round.
....but the wings seems to be the position where PG is most in
disagreement with what he inherited from JK, with Visser/Walker
frozen out and presumably looking for new jobs next year. You
have to wonder if Yarde hadn't been booted out by JK what would
the pecking order be now ???
Anyway, forwards look good esp. with Horwill back.....although
interestingly all the 'we need a big ball carrier' (Luamanu,
Lasike etc) chat from last year seems to have faded away
recently despite Dombrandt/Clifford/JChisholm all being similar
builds and play styles.
A 2nd away win would instantly put this season on a better
footing than the last few!

Walker was appalling during his brief appearance this season.
Murley meanwhile looked great and the boss was talking him up in
the Q&A according to whoever posted about it.
Horwill presumably not starting since he hasn't played any
actual rugby for so long.
Don't think Visser is injured, he's just not good enough -
assume he'll be out the door this summer. Alofa has also barely
had a look in so assume he's not in Gustard's thinking so again
no sign he's injured.

Walker didn't take his chance when started but Murley certainly
did so good luck to him , makes sense to start players on form
and full of confidence ( like Dombrandt)
