Harlequins name their squad to travel to Bristol this Friday, as they look to secure their third win of the season in The PWR.
Silvia Turani starts at loosehead after a strong performance on both sides of the ball last time out against Loughborough. Connie Powell continues at hooker, and Lizzie Hanlon comes into the side at tighthead.
Abbie Fleming moves in to the second-row after a powerful display at flanker last weekend. Scotland’s Sarah Bonar accompanies her at lock. The back-row is a dynamic one, with the carrying threat of Nicole Wythe returning at blindside flanker. Last week’s Player of the Match Alex Callender features again at openside, and it’s Jade Konkel who completes the pack at number eight.
England’s Lucy Packer and Wales’ Kayleigh Powell make up the half back partnership, with Powell returning to face her former club for the first time since joining Quins over the summer.
The reliable centre partnership of Lagi Tuima and Sarah Parry feature again at 12 and 13, with the back three seeing the return of GB Sevens speedster Lauren Torley on the wing. Wales’s Lisa Neumann returns on the other wing with a try in both of her last two outings, and it’s Red Roses Ellie Kildunne who completes the set at fullback following her 75th minute coast to coast winning try against Loughborough in The Game Changer.
It’s a 6-2 split in the Impact Players, with Harriet Millar-Mills returning to the squad to join international firepower of Laura Delgado, Babalwa Latsha and Danelle Lochner.
