Team News: Packer set for 100th appearance
Harlequins Women have made two changes to the starting XV ahead
of Sunday’s PWR fixture against Exeter Chiefs at Twickenham
Stoop (KO 15:00, live on TNT Sports).
Sunday is set to be a milestone day, with Lucy Packer poised to
make her 100th appearance for the Club, whilst Emma Swords could
also make her 50th appearance.
After last week’s victory away at Trailfinders Women, Silvia
Turani comes into the starting XV at loosehead prop, in an
otherwise unchanged front-row.
Captain Jade Konkel moves from the back-row into the second-row
to partner Fi McIntosh, whilst Sara Svoboda comes into the
starting XV at blindside flanker, with Aoife Wafer moving to
number 8.
The backs remain unchanged, with centurion Packer and Ella
Cromack as the half-backs, and Sarah Parry and Claudia Peña
pairing up as the centres.
The back three once again consists of Lauren Torley and Freya
Aucken on the wings, and Ellie Kildunne at full-back.
Jessie Spurrier and Abbie Fleming will be Impact Players having
started last Friday night, whilst there is a return to the side
for Liana Mikaele-Tu’u and centurion Lagi Tuima.
Head Coach, Ross Chisholm said: “We showed real desire and
spirit to secure the win last weekend against Trailfinders and
we’re incredibly pleased to have secured that result. We can’t
wait to be back at home in front of our fans this weekend. It’s
been a long time since we last played at home and we’re excited
for the challenge of taking on Exeter. I also want to
congratulate Lucy on reaching 100 caps for the Club. It’s an
incredible milestone to reach and an accolade she is fully
deserving of.”

That’s getting close to the best XXIII we can put out. I hope
Wythe is rested rather than injured, though.

Half an hour before kick off and it feels like a fairly big
crowd here already

Chiefs cutting through with far too much ease at the moment.

Why is the entire crowd on the side of the stadium that the
cameras aren't showing? That seems a really poor decision,
because it makes the whole thing look empty.

38-38 final score. Chiefs down to 12 try scored to level it up
but Pena misses the conversion. Ella Cromack injured in the try
build up so she couldn’t take it.

I know we scored so really a moot point but, with 3 forwards in
the bin we didn’t opt for the scrum. Seemed like an odd
decision.

I did find myself wondering how much they would have to infringe
to give away a penalty try. The ref showed slightly too much
forbearance.
Still, a draw is probably a fair result, and a great effort from
Quins to come back into it
