Quins team to play Warriors
For immediate release
Issued on behalf of Harlequins
After a disappointing start to their Heineken Cup campaign, Quins will turn their attentions back to the Guinness Premiership and look to continue the good form which has seen them unbeaten in their last 2 games – a 17-all draw at Newcastle and a 13-11 home win over Bath.Tomorrow they travel to Worcester to face the Warriors and will hope to grab their first away win of the season. The statistics are definitely on their side, as Harlequins have won the last four times they have visited Sixways, but it will be a tough game between two sides eager to climb their way up the table.

There are a number of changes to the first XV who started last Saturday at the Stoop against Toulouse. Quins fans will be delighted to see the return of second row pairing, James Percival and George Robson, to the Quins pack. Lewis Stevenson, who has impressed after making his starting debut for Quins against Leicester at the beginning of the season, starts on the bench.

Quins fans will be disappointed by the absence of Captain, Will Skinner, who was injured against Toulouse. He will be replaced by Neil McMillan and England number 8, Nick Easter, will Captain the side. The final change in the forwards is in the front row, where John Andress takes the place of prop, Mark Lambert, who starts on the bench.

In the backs, an unfamiliar face will put on the number 12 shirt. Quins’ latest signing, Nils Mordt, will make his Guinness Premiership debut with the London Club, partnering George Lowe in the centres, who comes in for the injured Gonzalo Tiesi.
