Harlequins Women name team for development league fixture

  • +1

Harlequins Women name team for Tyrrells Premier 15s development league fixture away to Loughborough Lightning.

Harlequins Women sit second in the Development league with ten wins and a single defeat so far this season.

Sixth-placed Loughborough’s last league game came in a narrow 28-25 defeat away to Wasps Lades II at the end of January.

Speaking ahead of this weekend’s game, Cadogan said: “Firstly, we’re really excited to be back playing after quite an extended break; the players have been training really well and are keen to get back in the Quarters. This weekend will be a good test for us against Loughborough, who always put out athletic and committed sides.

“Being second in the league, we’re obviously looking to consolidate that position with a strong performance, and we have got a strong squad capable of getting a result on the road. We’re also delighted to welcome back Sam McCarthy from a long-term injury; it’s great to have a player of her quality as one our game changers.

“That depth on our bench will be critical this weekend in what will be a physical battle in what are predicted to be quite challenging conditions.”
