Head Coach Gerard Mullen has named his Harlequins Women side to face Exeter Chiefs Women at Sandy Park in the team’s first fixture since the resumption of the Allianz Premier 15s.
Looking to make a winning start to 2021, Mullen has named a strong side to face Exeter Chiefs Women in the Allianz Premier 15s.
Back-row Bethan Dainton returns to the starting XV for the first time since her injury earlier in the season, with Lock Fi Fletcher returning in the second row to partner Red Roses star Abbie Ward.
A rotated backline sees England winger Jess Breach named amongst the Game Changers, with internationals Chloe Rollie and Emily Scott starting at Wing and Fullback respectively.
Ahead of the clash, Mullen said: “We’re under no illusions of how tough it is going to be going down to Sandy Park.
“They’ve put up some good performances against really strong sides, so we’ll have to perform well to get a result this weekend.”
