Jack Kenningham, Harlequins
Harlequins have named their matchday 23 to take on Bath Rugby in
round one of the Gallagher PREM at a sold-out Twickenham Stoop
on Friday night (25 September, KO 19:45 - live on HBO Max).
Jack Kenningham is set to make his 100th appearance in the
quarters at The Stoop, a stone's throw from where the flanker
grew up in St Margarets, Twickenham.
Elsewhere in the pack, summer signing James Dun and former
academy graduate Harry Browne are set to make their Gallagher
PREM debuts for the Club.
Will Hobson, Jack Walker and Pedro Delgado have been named
across the front row, with Will Evans starting at openside
flanker and Chandler Cunningham-South lining up at number 8.
In the halfbacks, Will Porter is partnered with Connor Slevin.
The former academy graduate is set to make his first Gallagher
PREM appearance as Marcus Smith misses out through a hand injury
sustained against Edinburgh last week.
Bryn Bradley and Oscar Beard are paired in the centres, with
captain Cadan Murley starting on the left wing and Cameron
Anderson on the right. Tyrone Green completes the starting XV at
fullback.
Jason Gilmore has opted for a five-three split amongst his
impact players for the season opener with plenty of firepower at
his disposal.
Sam Riley, Boris Wenger and Harry Johnson-Holmes have been
selected as replacement front row, while the experienced pair of
Kieran Treadwell and Guido Petti Pagadiz�bal are also set to be
introduced.
Meanwhile, Lucas Friday, Josh Bellamy and Rodrigo Isgr� provide
cover across the backline.
Supporters are reminded that the Club have launched Digital
Ticketing ahead of the 2026/27 season, which will be in-effect
on Friday night.
Season Ticket Members and Match Ticket Purchasers must download
the Harlequins Official App to access their tickets and add to
their mobile wallet ahead of arrival at The Stoop. Click here

Marcus Smith sustained a hand injury in last Friday's friendly
against Edinburgh and is ruled out of this tomorrow�s Gallagher
PREM opener against Bath Rugby. He will be assessed on a
week-to-week basis by the Club's medical department in
conjunction with England Rugby.
Speaking at this week's press conference, Head Coach Jason
Gilmore said Fin Baxter is "a couple of weeks away" from
returning to action in the quarters. Baxter remains unavailable
as a precautionary measure while he completes the final stages
of rehabilitation from a foot injury he has had since December
2025. Like Smith, Baxter�s return will be managed in conjunction
with England Rugby.
George Furbank is completing his return to play protocols after
being replaced early in the Edinburgh fixture with a head
injury. Gilmore said Furbank is tracking well and could be
available as early as Round 2.

There goes some of my pre-season optimism. I don't understand a
couple of the selections - Anderson over Isgro, Porter over
Friday, Walker over Riley, and both Treadwell and Guido on the
bench who are similar style - would have preferred Zach Carr or
Lucas Schmidt personally. Oh well.

You could argue our bench is better but the game could well be
done by the time that becomes a factor

Bath are undoubtedly the more experienced team, and probably
better. Having so many of our key players out for the first
match of the season isn't ideal, but hopefully most of them will
be back soon.
Cleaves does seem to spend most of his time injured. I wonder if
we'll ever get a good run of games out of him.

1. I have assumed that the short term signings have gone.
2. Chis isn't mentioned - so I have marked him as available.
3. Ditto - the two guys that were marked as long term injuries

Strong backline, but don't expect they'll use it.
