---------------------------------------------------------
Harlequins have made three changes to their starting XV for the
visit of Northampton Saints in Round 6 of the PREM Cup on Friday
(February 13, KO 19:45 - live on TNT Sports).
The Quarters have made two switches in the pack as loanee Luke
Yendle makdes his first start in the Quarters at tighthead.
Elsewhere in the pack, Zach Carr comes into the back row for the
visit of Saints.
Quins' solo switch in the backline comes in the inside centre
channel as Sean Kerr is named in the starting line-up.
Ethan Clarke and skipper Jack Musk retain their places in the
front row, while Harry Browne and Jonny Green are named in the
locks once more.
After their try scoring exploits against Saracens in Round 5,
Oisín McCormack and Tom Lawday are named on either flank for the
Cup contest.
Max Green and Jamie Benson continue their halfback partnership,
Ludo Kolade is named at outside centre and a backfield of
Cassius Cleaves, Cameron Anderson and Josh Bellamy will run out
at The Stoop.
Jerold Gorleku is set to make his debut in the Quarters as
replacement hooker with Jamie Miller and Cameron Doak providing
cover at loose and tighthead.
Barny Langton-Cryer and Club Captain Alex Dombrandt - also fresh
from a week in Ireland with England 'A' - will provide forward
reinforcements on Friday night.
Jake Murray, Connor Slevin and Bryn Bradley have been named as
backline replacements to take on Saints.

I would really have preferred have Jake Murray starting -
considering that he is one of our future players.
I don't see the advantage of starting with Max Green - He is
only with us until the end of the season and I would rather only
play him as a last resort in case of injuries.

Also would have started Kerr on the bench and left Bradley at 12
to start

I guess they could be managing Bradley's game time now that he's
the best available 12.

Realistically we're out of the competition so you'd presume (or
hope!) that there is some sort of plan for what we want to get
out of the game which would influence the team selection. Or are
we just going through the motions?

Max Green brings some experience to what is otherwise a very
callow side (with the notable exception of Lawday).
Perhaps Murray isn't quite ready? We've just brought in a
32-year old 9 as cover, which would suggest this might be the
case.

Sure - I get that - - - But, it is only a Prem Cup match in a
competition that we are already out of.
So, start Murray and let him get some playing experience.
