Don't Rule Us Out
Esterhuizen Returns
By MG
June 25 2021
The bookies are making Exeter Chief odds on favourites to continue their tremendous Premiership winning run. That's the way Quins like it -winning games in the dying seconds or coming back from a 28-0 deficit to show how much character and talent there is in the side.
So the pressure is off for a side which will see Andre Esterhuizen return to action after serving his red card sentence. (Kick off Saturday 5.30 BT Sport).
He's one of three changes from the team which produced one of the greatest ever Premiership performnces in overcoming the Bears in their own den last week.
The unfortunate Ben Tapuai moves to the bench to accommodate the Springbok.
James Chisholm gets the nod in the back row after coming off the bench last week while Caden Murley is over his injury and starts with Aaron Morris injured at Bristol.
Quins: Tyrone Green, Louis Lynagh, Joe Marchant. Amedre Esterhuizen, Caden Murley, Marcus Smith, Danny Care, Joe Marler, Scott Baldwin, Wilco Louw, Matt Symons, Stephan Lewies (Capt), James Chisholm,Jack Kenningham, Alex Dombrandt.
Reps: Joe Gray, Santiago Garcia Botta, Will Collier, Dino Lamb, Tom Lawday, Martin Landajo, Ben Tapuai, Luke Northmore.
Chiefs: Jack Nowell, Alex Cuthbert, Henry Slade, Ollie Devoto, Tom O’Flaherty, Joe Simmonds (capt), Jack Maunder, Alec Hepburn, Luke Cowan-Dickie, Harry Williams, Jonny Gray, Jonny Hill, Jannes Kirsten, Richard Capstick, Sam Simmonds.
Reps: Jack Yeandle, Ben Moon, Marcus Street, Sean Lonsdale, Don Armand, Stu Townsend, Harvey Skinner, Stuart Hogg.
