They have a ridiculous injury list. Need to win this.

Making a spectacle of yourself again Stinky...
Try to focus, Dangly...!

Agree that it’s a good looking team and that on paper our pack looks much stronger - that most likely means we’ll get absolutely trounced.
The Force, weak with you it is - faith must you have, Fursty...

Can not wait for today. With exception of Dombrandt it’s as good a team as we can field. Fancy us to really turn the screw up front.

Ah yes, thank you. I was reading it on my phone and my glasses need changing!

That’s a decent team. We should smash Wasps in the scrum

Strong team, expecting a win.

Tex is 19 on the bench Quinky
Ah yes, thank you. I was reading it on my phone and my glasses need changing!

Good info, thanks.
I thought he was our standout player against Ulster by a stretch, so a little surprised by his omission.
I think there's enough back row quality to regularly rotate them.

Unlikely. I think that he just doesn't make the cut. We only need 4 back rows per game He ranked 5th in the team selector.
But, you can see all of the citings here:

We have a clean sheet this season (excluding the Premiership 7s in which Dylan Munro (who???) copped a 4 week ban)

Quite a strong looking team, hope we can put in a decent away performance and get the win.

when you see the sides that Ulster and Leinster are putting out this weekend it shows the difference between them and the English clubs
Matt Faddes is the only Ulster player retained from last weekend's European Champions Cup win at Harlequins for Friday's Pro14 derby against Leinster.
Leinster make 13 changes from their European hammering of Northampton with Robbie Henshaw and captain Scott Fardy keeping starting roles.
Well playing in a league where there is no relegation helps . No risk

What happened to Kunatani? (Was there a citing I missed after the contact on the face of Henderson?)

I've said this elsewhere, as long as France have their huge salary cap and don't care about winning away and the Pro14 teams are propped up by the IRFU and could care less about their league, we won't compete in Europe.
Here here Cookie. Irish target Europe and 6 Nations above league.
-
Very happy with that team. I can see us destroying them up front. Our pack looks terrific, with Dombrandt to come in off the bench!
The backs also look good, especially in attack. We just need to go for it and outscore them! That may mean pushing ourselves to go beyond the 20-25 points mark that we seem to be stuck at in most games.
I know the boys can do it! Come on you Quins!
-
That's a nice team. Dombrandt on the bench and Semi not selected shows our back row strength. They've been two of our better players this season. Big Tex not even in the 23.
Let's hope our combinations click. It's just a shame that Barnes is reffing.

Looking at both teams I actually fancy us to nick a win

CHRIS ROBSHAW WILL LEAD HARLEQUINS ON HIS 200TH PREMIERSHIP APPEARANCE FOR THE CLUB AS QUINS VISIT WASPS AT THE RICOH ARENA ON SATURDAY.
Also returning to the side following injury or rotation are Joe Marler, Matt Symons, Danny Care, Marcus Smith and Gabriel Ibitoye for the Gallagher Premiership clash.
Tom Lawday is back in the starting line-up in a rotated back row alongside Robshaw and James Chisholm who returns to the side after an impressive 60 minutes v Ulster, with his older brother Ross Chisholm retaining the full back spot.
Head of Rugby at Harlequins, Paul Gustard said: “We are aware of the threat Wasps possess, and we look forward to the test that they represent. As always, we assess the threats and opportunities of the opposition and factor that in to the current health and state of our own squad to make sure we field a competitive team.
“It’s pleasing to have a number of players starting to return to action following spells on the sidelines, including James Chisholm, Will Collier and Aaron Morris whom will add competition for places.”
