Harlequins Head Coach Ross Chisholm names his squad for this Saturday’s trip to Trailfinders Sports Ground, as Quins go in search of their ninth consecutive victory in the PWR.
The front-row remains unchanged from Big Game with Lizzie Hanlon at tighthead, Connie Powell at hooker and Silvia Turani at loosehead.
Wallaroo Kaitlan Leaney comes back into the starting fold at second-row to join Abbie Fleming in the engine room. The back-row sees the addition of the experienced Harriet Millar-Mills at blindside. She joins Alex Callender at openside and Club Captain Jade Konkel at Number 8.
Lucy Packer is joined in the halfbacks by Kayleigh Powell, fresh off the back of a try last time out at Big Game. It’s an all-action midfield, with Lagi Tuima starting at inside centre and Clàudia Peña outside her at 13 ready to inject her electric pace into the game.
Red Roses star Ellie Kildunne starts at fullback, she’s flanked by Wales’ Lisa Neumann on one wing and Beth Wilcock on the other to complete the back three. Lauren Brooks is named amongst the replacements and is set to make her 50th appearance for the Club.
Harlequins wing Beth Wilcock said: “We’ve had games with Ealing in the past where they have upset us, they have come away with a result. We know that they’re going to come at us full guns blazing, but we’re going to stick to our processes and stick to being a close knit team.”
