Three Harlequins changes for Exeter match
Harlequins have made three changes to the starting line-up for the match against Exeter Chiefs at Sandy Park on Saturday.
Jack Walker returns to the starting XV at hooker, Simon Kerrod packs down at tighthead, while Nick David is set to make his first Prem start of the season, on the right wing.
The Quarters have named a largely unchanged team as the squad seek back-to-back league victories to finish the first block of the 2026/27 season.
George Furbank continues his run at full-back, with Cadan Murley skippering the side on the left wing and David on the right.
Bryn Bradley and Luke Northmore continue in the centre channels, while Marcus Smith and Will Porter continue their strong partnership in the halfbacks.
Fin Baxter starts at Sandy Park following his return to the quartered jersey in last weekend’s London derby – he’s joined by the returning Walker and Kerrod in the front row.
The back five of the pack remains unchanged as James Dun and Kieran Treadwell continue in the engine room. Jack Kenningham, Seb Driscoll and Lucas Schmid are named across the back row once more.
Head coach Jason Gilmore continues with a six-two split of impact players ahead of Quins’ trip to North Devon.
Sam Riley and Ollie Streeter’s roles switch to that of an impact player, Will Hobson also continues as an a loosehead option.
The young pairing of Elliot Williams and Harry Browne will provide further cover, with the experienced Will Evans named as the sixth forward impact option.
Lucas Friday and Rodrigo Isgró complete the squad.
