Galligan returns for Quins v Saracens clash at The Stoop

  • +1

Harlequins Women have named their side to face Saracens at The Stoop on Saturday afternoon in what promises to be another scintillating London derby.

In the forward pack, Scotland’s Sarah Bonar makes her first start of the season in an all-international second row alongside Australian Kaitlan Leaney.

Katy Mew comes in at blindside, with vice-captain Emily Robinson on the openside and last week’s Player of the Match Jade Konkel-Roberts wearing eight to complete the back row.

England international Rosie Galligan makes her return from the World Cup and is named amongst the Impact Players.

In the backline, Wallaroo Bella McKenzie gets her first start at fly half for the Club after making her debut last week. Rachael Burford captains the side from inside centre, alongside Lagi Tuima in a midfield partnership that hopes to light up the Stoop once again.

Fresh from making her try-scoring 50th appearance for the Club, Izzy Mayhew starts on the wing, with Lauren Torley and Emily Scott completing the back three.

Watch the game live on BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport app from 2pm.
