Quins changed after Exeter victory

Harlequins have named an unchanged matchday 23 to face Bath as the Club look to secure back-to-back league wins.

Continuity is the key theme within the Club’s team selection this week as Harlequins’ coaching team opt for the same matchday 23 that claimed a record-equalling 49-17 win over last season’s Premiership finalists Wasps at the Ricoh Arena.

Academy products Marcus Smith and Joe Marchant hone in on 100 appearances for the Club, as Matt Symons, Danny Care and Mike Brown also near appearance milestones.

Commenting, Scrum Coach Adam Jones said: “It’s great for us to be able to name an unchanged team this week. We were thrilled with the boys’ performance in Coventry last weekend and we’re hoping to maintain that momentum this week.

“Bath are a good team, we will be expecting a reaction from them from last week. I'm sure they will come out fired up.”
