Team News - Harlequins - Champions Cup

Harlequins have made four changes for the visit of Sale Sharks in the Investec Champions Cup Round of 16 on Saturday (KO 20:00, live on Premier Sports).

Quins will clash with their PREM rivals in the european knockout stages for a place in the quarter-finals

In the front row, Simon Kerrod and Pedro Delgado packdown at loosehead and tighthead, with Jack Walker completing the front row at hooker.

Kieran Treadwell and Elliot Williams continue their partnership in the row, which sees Guido Petti Pagadizábal start at blindside flanker after an abrasive and disruptive performance at the Principality Stadium.

Quins have a welcome boost to the pack as Will Evans returns to the openside, while Alex Dombrandt continues to lead his squad from the base of the scrum.

Stu Townsend starts at scrum-half to partner the returning Marcus Smith who'll marshall the side from fly-half. Bryn Bradley resumes duty at inside centre alongside the returning Luke Northmore.

Cadan Murley shifts to the left wing, Rodrigo Isgró is selected on the right and Nick David lines up at full-back for Saturday night's mouthwatering match-up.

Head Coach Jason Gilmore has opted for a six-two split among his replacements with the returning George Turner, Will Hobson and Ollie Streeter covering the front row. Academy graduate Streeter is set to make his European debut at The Stoop.

Chandler Cunningham-South is poised to make an impact off the bench with Zach Carr and Jack Kenningham in tow.

Lucas Friday also returns to the squad after a rest week with Jarrod Evans completing the matchday squad.
