Harlequins name squad to face Saracens

  • +1

Harlequins Women Head Coach Gerard Mullen has named his matchday squad that will travel to North West London on Sunday afternoon as Quins face Saracens in Round 8 of the Allianz Premier 15s season.

There are six changes to the starting XV that defeated DMP Durham Sharks 69-7 last time out. England internationals Vickii Cornborough and Amy Cokayne return to the front row, whilst Heather Cowell features back on the wing after two weeks away with GB Sevens out in Dubai.

Fi Fletcher and Jade Konkel return to the star-studded Harlequins pack as Quins look to make it three wins a row in the Premier 15s. The last change comes at scrum-half as newly capped England international Lucy Packer comes into the starting XV.

Ahead of the London derby, Mullen said: “Everyone looks forward to Saracens vs Harlequins fixtures and this weekend will be no different. Both teams have a lot of star quality in their squads, with a number of them featuring in the Red Roses squad recently so we know it’s going to be a great game to watch for all the fans tuning in.”
