Harlequins Women have made four changes to the Starting XV that will take on Gloucester-Hartpury at The Twickenham Stoop in the Allianz Premier 15s.
Shaunagh Brown, Lauren Brooks, Izzy Mayhew and Freya Aucken all return to the Starting XV that will run out at The Stoop, looking to get back to winning ways after a loss last weekend away at Exeter Chiefs.
There are three milestones set to be reached on Saturday. Wing Jess Breach, scrum-half Lucy Packer and hooker Davinia Catlin are all scheduled to make their 50th appearance in the Famous Quarters after numerous years at the Club.
Ahead of the important clash, Head Coach Gerard Mullen said: “Gloucester-Hartpury are side that have once again really come on this season and have some amazing players within their strong squad including the World Rugby Player of the Year in Zoe Aldcroft as well as Mo Hunt who is one of the best nine’s in the league at the moment.
“They have a really good balance to their team; they’re really well drilled and have a strong kicking game and are dangerous whenever it comes to set pieces up and down the field. It will most definitely be tough challenge, but one we’re all looking forward too and hopefully we’ll see a strong reaction from the team after last Saturday’s disappointing result.”
