Harlequins name side to face Saracens

  • +1

Harlequins Women Head Coach Gerard Mullen has named his side to take on London rivals Saracens in a First v Second clash in the Allianz Premier 15s.

An all-English starting XV sees Lauren Brooks return at blindside flanker, with Katy Mew shifting to number 8 in place of the injured Sarah Beckett.

The backline remains unchanged from last week’s dominant 62-7 victory at Bristol, with Izzy Mayhew retaining her starting birth at outside centre following a string of strong performances.

Ahead of the clash, Mullen said: “We’ve prepared this week as we have for every other game.

“There’s bound to be some more excitement playing Saracens but we’ve been focussed on our own game and are determined to continue to build towards the playoffs.”
