Seven Quins changes for Bath match

By

Harlequins have made seven changes to the starting XV for Saturday’s Premiership match away to Bath.

England trio Marcus Smith (pictured), Chandler Cunningham-South and Fin Baxter all come into the squad after a week of mandatory rest.

Baxter packs down at loosehead for the trip to the West Country, while Irne Herbst starts alongside Stephan Lewies, who will captain the side.

In the back row, Will Evans and Alex Dombrandt miss out because of injures and are replaced by Tom Lawday at openside flanker and Chandler Cunningham-South at number eight.

Smith returns to fill the number 10 jersey, with the recently re-signed Luke Northmore named at inside centre for his first appearance in the Quarters since early January. Tyrone Green also returns to the starting line-up at full-back.
