Team to travel to play Saracens in Norf London!

---------------------------------------------------------
Harlequins have named their matchday 23 for Saturday’s Gallagher
Premiership showdown against Saracens at Tottenham Hotspur
Stadium (15:05 kick-off).
Alex Dombrandt skippers the side from the base of the scrum that
includes a front row of Wyn Jones at loosehead prop, Jack Walker
at hooker and Titi Lamositele at tighthead prop.
Stephan Lewies is paired with Joe Launchbury in the engine room,
while the dynamic duo of Jack Kenningham and Will Evans join the
Men’s Club Captain in the back row.
Will Porter starts at scrum-half and is paired with Jarrod Evans
at fly-half for the London Derby.
Ben Waghorn continues his run at inside centre with Oscar Beard
named at outside centre following his call-up into England camp
for the Guinness Six Nations campaign.
Nick David and Rodrigo Isgro start on either wing with the
experienced Leigh Halfpenny set to line up in the number 15
jersey.
Danny Wilson has opted for 5-3 split among the impact players
for The Showdown as Sam Riley, Jordan Els, Will Hobson, Irne
Herbst and George Hammond have been included as forward impact
options.
Scrum-half, Jake Murray is in-line to make his Gallagher
Premiership debut if introduced in North London. Meanwhile,
Jamie Benson and Tyrone Green complete the matchday squad.
Ahead of The Showdown, Head Coach Danny Wilson said: “We’ve all
been looking forward to the return of the Gallagher Premiership
and the opportunity to take Saracens in an unbelievable venue at
the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
“It’s an exciting challenge for our group as we start the run-in
against our local rivals. We know it’s going to be a battle and
we’re going to have to put in an 80-minute performance to give
us the best opportunity of securing a victory.”
Marcus Smith, Chandler Cunningham-South and Fin Baxter have all
been placed on mandatory rest following the conclusion of the
Guinness Six Nations.

I just cannot see how Baxter and CCS need a rest week given
overall minutes played for England. Smith yes but those two
missing this week doesn’t make sense to me.

The Sarries bench is significantly stronger.
And how/why is Lawday not in this squad?!
Good to see Murray in ahead of Gjaltema.
Result to one side, I want to see us show some pride tomorrow
and make it tough for them. We've been blown away early on in
these games far too often.

Its probably bar Tyrone the best we could put out after the
rather poor rest decision (Rested up nicely for the smashing
against bath) . Whether its good enough we will find out...
We are going to need our frontrow to give our backs a good
platform, if they can do that, we might not lose by as much as
last year. If Titi and Launchbury lumber around the field with
the speed of two pensioners leaving Spoons at kicking out time,
we probably will struggle.
