15. Tom Arscott, 14. Tom Brady, 13. Johnny Leota, 12. Sam Tuitupou, 11. Mark Cueto, 10. Danny Cipriani, 9. Chris Cusiter, 1. Eifion Lewis Roberts, 2. Tommy Taylor, 3. Vadim Cobilas, 4. Jonathan Mills, 5. Nathan Hines, 6. Dan Braid (capt.), 7. David Seymour, 8. Josh Beaumont


Replacements: 16. Marc Jones, 17. Ross Harrison, 18. Ciaran Parker, 19. Michael Paterson, 20. TJ Ioane, 21. Will Cliff, 22. Joe Ford, 23. Mike Haley

With Addison injured this is probably our strongest 23 (I'd have Arscott on the wing with Haley at Fullback, Cueto on the bench - but I can understand him starting this game)

Cueto, Cliff, Jones, Paterson and Hines' last home game before they move on at the end of the season - hopefully we can pull out a result for them!

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Tigers beat the Boks with Parling at 6, therefore I predict an easy 5pts for them.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

And he was against Johnson!!!!!

Yes easy 40 point win.

 

[Irishkid]

We've got the youngest Watson on the bench for us against Gloucster.

Harlequins: Lindsay-Hague; Yarde, Lowe, Sloan, Monye; Evans, Care; Lambert, Ward, Shields, Easter, Robson, Wallace, Robshaw (capt), Clifford.
Replacements: Buchanan, Adneiran-Olule, Marfo, Matthews, Talei, Dickson, Botica, Walker.

Bath: Watson; Agulla, Joseph, Eastmond, Banahan; Ford, Stringer; James, Batty, Wilson, Attwood, Day, Burgess, Louw (capt), Houston.
Replacements: Webber, Auterac, Lahiff, Garvey, Fearns, Cook, Devoto, Homer.

If Wilson is in any kind of form, the Bath scrum should be dominant. Interesting battle of the back rows though, Clifford at 8 again- this is the first big test for Burgess, and Robshaw v Louw

We've got the youngest Watson on the bench for us against Gloucster.

I shouldn't worry- he'll be off your hands and training at Farleigh house soon if he shows some kind of form.

We've got the youngest Watson on the bench for us against Gloucster.

How good is he?

 

[SharksFan86]

Looking forward to watching Quins v Bath !

Hope we can finish off with a win tomorrow for Cueto and other leavers, i am sure he will get a brilliant send off !

 

[Every Time Ref]

Good to see Wilson back, hope to see a repeat of the scrum from last time these two played...

Good to see Wilson back, hope to see a repeat of the scrum from last time these two played...

With Marler, Collier and Sinkler (less so) out, they could be in for a pasting... I hope we see an open game though and not a scrum fest

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Ugooooooooooooooooooo


Terrible missed tackle from Mass Banahan on Yarde

 

[chippieolamus]

What a pass from Evans. I thought Care would've had just enough to get over instead of cutting in towards Ford earlier on though.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Ross Batty is such a c***.

I want to like him, because he looks so much like Tormund Giantsbane, but he's such a ******** on the field - so much petulance off the ball.

 

[chippieolamus]

Don't want to focus on Burgess every Bath match, but he is making a huge number of carries (and ground). Really helping to give Bath good front foot ball.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Good tackle on Clifford there

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Still seen nothing from Clifford this season to suggest he's as good as Beaumont or Evans

 

[Irishkid]

How good is he?

He's a scrum half and is only 18 so probably bit early to say

You are joking

 

[Rugby9]

I thought that was a Good first half from Harlequins, Bath lucky not to lose Attwood to the bin. I do think that Bath should still have enough in the tank to win this one still...

really? I think he looks a very good rounded player- refreshing to see an 8 get the ball out the scrum quickly- and he quickkk with great hands.
