It'll be good to see Fin Cunnison get a run out. He was a
similarly abrasive 12 to Waghorn and Bradley at 18s level.

I think the main problem will be that the number and frequency
of changes might make it difficult to maintain cohesion in the
game, and edge players may feel like they have to prove
themselves in their 10 minutes and try too hard. We'll see. It
would be good to get a win, but it feels like it's mainly about
getting minutes in the legs of as many players as possible.

With rolling subs, etc, these games are usually good for the
first 20 minutes or so and after that it is hard to read
anything into them. You can get complete mismatches where a few
fresh players look amazing against tired opponents, or an
experienced backline tears holes in a disjointed defense.
You also get some poor discipline as refs try to avoid giving
yellow cards, etc. Basically, players can get away with a lot
more.
But - as you say, it does give an opportunity to get a few
minutes in the legs and also, some of the newcomers get to do a
first run out at the Stoop

Looks like we won't be seeing a few of their internationals.

Scotland quartet return for Quins friendly
17 Sep 2026
Edinburgh Rugby names its team for tomorrow night's pre-season
friendly against Harlequins at Twickenham Stoop, with four
Scotland internationals set for their first minutes of
pre-season action (Friday 18 September, kick-off 7.45pm).
Head Coach Sean Everitt hands starts to Darcy Graham, Magnus
Bradbury and Freddy Douglas, while Liam McConnell is named among
the replacements.
Everitt has selected an extended 26-man squad as the capital
club continue their preparations for the 2026/27 season, which
gets underway against Ulster in Belfast next weekend.
On the selection, Everitt said: “It’s exciting as we get closer
to the competitive action starting next week, and tomorrow night
will be an important building block as we build towards our
season opener against Ulster.
“We’ve had a really good training week, and an extended squad of
players are looking forward to getting more minutes under their
belt against a strong Quins side here in London.”
Scotland international Harry Paterson starts at full-back, with
Geordie Gwynn shifting from the centres to partner Graham on the
wing.
Mosese Tuipulotu takes the 12 jersey, joined by Matt Currie in
the capital midfield.
James Grayson continues at fly-half, with Hector Paterson
partnering him at scrum-half.
Summer arrival Alec Hepburn starts at loosehead, with former
England international Paul Hill at tighthead and Jerry
Blyth-Lafferty at hooker.
Glen Young starts at lock to face his former side, forming the
engine room alongside Callum Hunter-Hill.
In the back row, Bradbury and Douglas are joined by blindside
flanker Tom Dodd, who was named Scottish Building Society Player
of the Match against Ulster.
On the bench, Edinburgh welcome back Ben Muncaster from injury,
while Scotland U20 internationals Henry Kesterton and Jack
Utterson are also in line for senior minutes.

He played as a flanker until 16, and has played a couple of
times for England U20, he could be a very good inside centre
already 98kg at 19 years old.
