Harlequins Team News

Harlequins have named their travelling squad to take on Toulon at the Stade Felix Mayol in the Investec Champions Cup on Sunday afternoon (Sun 12 Jan, 13:00 GMT).

Danny Wilson has made a trio of changes to the starting XV that ran out victors at Kingston Park in the Gallagher Premiership as Quins switch their attention to back-to-back European fixtures.

Skipper Alex Dombrandt returns to the base of the scrum, plus George Hammond comes into the engine room. Meanwhile in the backline, Tyrone Green returns to full-back for the contest in the Cote d’Azur.

Quins’ front row trio of Fin Baxter, Jack Walker and Titi Lamositele will once again pack down from the off this weekend. As mentioned, Hammond comes in to the starting XV to partner Joe Launchbury at lock.

Dombrandt’s return sees a slight reshuffle at in the back row as last Friday night’s Player of the Match, James Chisholm shifts to blindside flanker and Jack Kenningham to openside.

Will Porter will partner Marcus Smith in the half backs, while Luke Northmore and Oscar Beard line up in the centres. Tyrone Green’s return to full-back sees Nick David move to the right wing, with Cadan Murley starting on the left.

Sam Riley, Wyn Jones and Simon Kerrod are Harlequins’ front row impact options for the trip to the South of France. Chandler Cunningham-South comes into the squad with Will Evans the fifth forward impact option.

Danny Care, Jarrod Evans and Ben Waghorn - who could make his European debut if introduced, complete the travelling squad.
