Quins with more than one eye on the Prem. To be fair they probably need max points from this point to qualify.

A familiar face at 10 then.

The Hitman!

On the bench is Niall Saunders, son of Ulsterman Rob Saunders.

“The last season before I signed a two-year deal with Harlequins I was in talks with Ulster about signing.”

Worth a read if you have the time.

Is that really the quins team?!?

If so, what was a pretty difficult assignment just became significantly easier!

[Evil Kiwi]

Brett Herron at 10 and Kyle Sinckler as Captain....what could go wrong?

Indeed it was - good luck to the lad (after tomorrow night).

They are resting 6/7 frontline players so this just became a lot easier. Feeling more confident than I did an hour ago

[justinr73]

We'll still have to be 'on it'.

The two Argies have about 60 caps between them.

[UlsterNo9]

That Harlequins team with home advantage are still very much capable.

This is still not a gimme!

[10 or 15 only]

Much changed Quins side. Is that our Brett Herron at 10 and their 21 last week who was sh1t starts. No room for Care and Robshaw.
Have Quins weighed up their options and now thinking of the Premiership or older players needing a rest.

They are changing their focus to the League. Playing Wasps next week then their "big game" v Tigers at Twickenham over Christmas window. Only have 5 points, probably need 14/15 from remaining games to make QF.

[LUMBERJACK]

Apparently they have 8 game changers coming off the bench while we have only replacements ! .

Who comes up with this guff .

Robshaw fears the retribution.
