Harlequins have named their matchday squad for Saturday’s Gallagher Premiership clash with Bath Rugby at a sold-out Twickenham Stoop stadium (KO 17:30).

The Starting XV features the return from injury of Club Captain Alex Dombrandt, fullback Tyrone Green, centre Luke Northmore and a debut for new Argentinian winger Rodrigo Isgro.

In the forwards, props Fin Baxter and Titi Lamositele continue alongside hooker Jack Walker in an unchanged front-row. Joe Launchbury comes into the starting XV with Dino Lamb at second-row, while Jack Kenningham and Will Evans look to continue their fine form on the flanks. Alex Dombrandt returns to captain the side in his usual position at number eight.

In the backs, Will Porter continues at scrum-half partnering Marcus Smith in the number 10 role. In the centres, Lennox Anyanwu is replaced by the returning Luke Northmore alongside Oscar Beard at outside centre. Cadan Murley continues on the left wing with Rodrigo Isgro on the right, Tyrone Green is fit to return at fullback.

The Impact Players feature a six-two split again, with Nathan Jibulu joining Joe Marler and Dillon Lewis in the front-row. James Chisholm, Irne Herbst and Chandler Cunningham-South complete the pack, with Danny Care and Jarrod Evans the impact backs.

Head Coach Danny Wilson commented: “We're looking forward to facing Bath at The Stoop. We are very lucky to have a packed house so often and our fans make the difference. To have two back to back home matches is rare and we want to make the most of it.”

This weekend’s fixture is themed in support of Black History Month which the Club has been proud to support for several years as part of its wider diversity and inclusion approach, ensuring the Club is a welcome space for all.
