Gerard Mullen names his side to make the trip to Gloucester-Hartpury, as Quins look to maintain their unbeaten record.
After a break in the Allianz Premier 15s season, Harlequins Women head coach Gerard Mullen has named his side to travel to Gloucester-Hartpury this weekend as Quins look to maintain their lead at the top of the table.
Following back-to-back victories against France, Red Roses stars Shaunagh Brown, Amy Cokayne, Sarah Beckett, Leanne Riley, Lagi Tuima and Jess Breach return to the starting XV, with prop Vickii Cornborough named amongst the Game Changers.
USA international Kristine Sommer makes her first start since returning to the Club, partnering Fi Fletcher in the second row, and Ireland star Anna Caplice makes her first matchday squad of the season as she takes her place amongst the Game Changers,
Ahead of the trip to Gloucester, Mullen said: “We have had a great start to the season, but we’re heading into a really testing period so it’s vital we take each game as it comes and this weekend is no different.
“Gloucester are a very well organised side, with a disciplined set piece and some exciting backs play, so I’m expecting a really good game, and we’ll need to build on our recent performances to make sure we come back with a result.”
