Quins change one for Tigers test

Quins change one for Tigers test

Harlequins have made one change to the starting XV that will take on Leicester Tigers in-front of a sold-out Stoop on Saturday (24 January, KO 15:05).

Jason Gilmore has opted for consistency in selection and rewarded the squad that toppled La Rochelle on French soil last weekend to claim home Round of 16 tie in the Investec Champions Cup.

Quins' only change comes in the pack, specifically in the row as Kieran Treadwell returns to the engine room.

In the backline, Cadan Murley is set to make his 100th Gallagher PREM appearance in the Quarters - the speedster has amassed 55 tries in 99 league appearances to date.

Simon Kerrod, Jack Walker and Pedro Delgado remain on front row duty after a dominant scrummaging performance last weekend. Guido Petti Pagadizábal backs them up in the second row alongside Treadwell.

Chandler Cunningham-South, Jack Kenningham and captain, Alex Dombrandt resume their destructive back row duties.

Lucas Friday and Marcus Smith continue their half back partnership, with Bryn Bradley and Luke Northmore lining up in the midfield once more.

Nick David and Tyrone Green accompany Murley in the backfield for the visit of the Tigers.

Gilmore's choice of a six-two split of replacements remains with Will Hobson, Sam Riley and Harry Williams providing front row cover.

Elliot Williams returns to the matchday squad with back row Seb Driscoll set to make his Gallagher PREM debut when introduced at The Stoop.

Tom Lawday completes Quins' forwards options as Max Green and Jarrod Evans provide cover to the backline.
