Harlequins Women Head Coach Gerard Mullen has named his matchday squad that will travel up to the North East on Saturday afternoon to take on DMP Durham Sharks in Round 15 of the Allianz Premier 15s.
Quins make five changes to the starting XV which includes a whole new front row with Hannah Duffy, Rosie Dobson and Chloe Edwards all getting the nod.
The back five remains the same as Sarah Beckett captains the side for the first time as a Harlequin.
There are two changes in the back field as Ella Amory and Jade Mullen start on the wing and full back respectively.
Shaunagh Brown, Rachael Burford and the returning Emily Scott are all amongst the Impact Players for the trip to Darlington.
Looking ahead to the important clash, Mullen said: “We’ve taken a bit out of the training week after five tough weeks of training for the girls so they can rest up a little bit. We’re a bit broken at the moment as a squad so hopefully they’ll be back raring to go ahead of two important games for us.
“We’ll be fully focused on ourselves this weekend, making sure we stay true to our own standards with our aim being to secure all five points and keep our winning momentum going as we approach the business end of the season.”
