Hall

Godwin

Kopczak

Donaldson/Platt

There is no point using a bench spot for a back. Ever. The starting team has at centre 2 out of Nero/Sykes/Platt. The one who misses out does not get in the 17. This is because we have cover for centre with Menzies.



Worrincy's place is fully dependent on his response (in training) to being dropped. Usually by now there has been a mention of a response from a player in the T&A - there hasn't been - I assume Donaldson will still get the nod.

Do you think the inside knowledge of Quims that a few of our players will be able to give us will be an added advantage?

Sorry simple spelling mistake above. I am of course talking about ex Harlequins players Worrincy, Sykes and Sheriffe.

I don't think it will have any bearing whatsoever personally.

I'd probably go with this lineup



Reardon

Sheriffe

Sykes

Platt

Halley

Kearney

Orford

Scruton

L’Estrange

Lynch

Langley

Whitehead

Menzies



Hall

Godwin

Kopczak

Donaldson/Nero



dont think halley and reardon have been playing particularly terrible per se but would like to try swapping them and seeing if its an improvement. Dont think we'd be any worse off and it might be a big improvement. Likewise think Platt went ok last week and would like to give him another runout at nero's expense who hasnt had much impact so far this year. only thing I'm undecided on is whether to include nero on bench instead of donaldson as nero can cover and 2nd row and is a bit bulkier. Not sure how big a pack quins have this year. Although having said that donaldson seems to not have much problem tackling above his weight.
