Harlequins Women Head Coach Gerard Mullen has named his side to take on Loughborough Lightning as the team look to return to winning ways in the Allianz Premier 15s.
Looking to maintain their position at the top of the Allianz Premier 15s table, Mullen has named his side for the visit of Loughborough Lightning.
A reshuffled pack sees Alex Eddie start in the second-row alongside Red Roses star Abbie Ward, with Fi Fletcher moving into the back-row at Number 8 and Katy Mew, returning from injury, starting at Blindside Flanker.
In the backline, Beth Wilcock comes into the side on the Wing, with Jade Mullen completing the lineup in the Game Changers.
Ahead of the clash, Mullen said: “As we saw earlier in the season, Loughborough like to move the ball and have a very dangerous backline that we can’t give any opportunities to.
“They are a very good side, and we will need to perform well to stand a chance.”
