Lewies and Northmore return to face Exeter

Harlequins have named their matchday 23 that will travel to Sandy Park to take on Exeter Chiefs on Sunday (15:00, live on TNT Sports).

Stephan Lewies returns to the starting XV as he packs down in the engine room alongside new signing Guido Petti Pagadizábal, who made an impact in his Gallagher PREM bow against Saracens.

The return of Lewies is the only change to the forward pack as Fin Baxter, Jack Walker and Harry Williams start in the front row once more. Williams returns to Sandy Park on Sunday, a place he called home for eight years.

The back row also remains unchanged after an abrasive London derby performance as Jack Kenningham and Will Evans report for duty on the flanks and Chandler Cunningham-South resumes his position at Number 8.

In the backs, Will Porter and Marcus Smith are named in the half-backs, while Jamie Benson and the returning Luke Northmore are paired in the centres.

Cadan Murley skippers the side on the left wing, Rodrigo Isgró starts on the right and Tyrone Green completes the starting XV at full-back.

Jason Gilmore has made three changes to his impact players with Kieran Treadwell named as a replacement after seven successive starts, while Harry Browne and Cameron Anderson come into the wider squad.

George Turner, Boris Wenger, Pedro Delgado, Zach Carr and Stu Townsend, who also spent a near decade at Sandy Park, are all included in the matchday 23 once more.

Alex Dombrandt and Oscar Beard miss out on the away fixture in Devon with minor injury issues.
