Fit Joe Marler makes bench as Harlequins, Saracens name derby teams

Harlequins have made five changes and Saracens four to their respective starting XVs for this Sunday’s Gallagher Premiership clash at a sold-out Twickenham Stoop. Beaten last weekend away to champions Northampton, Quins have included full-back Leigh Halfpenny for Jarrod Evans, wing Caden Murley for Will Joseph and scrum-half Will Porter for the benched Danny Care in their backs.
There are also two changes to their back row with James Chisholm and Dino Lamb picked instead of benched duo Chandler Cunningham-South and Will Evans. Halfpenny’s inclusion after he missed the trip to Saints has resulted in Marcus Smith, who slotted in at No15, switching to out-half for a London derby that will see a first appearance of the season for Joe Marler.
The loosehead was injured on the England summer but has now been named as one of the six replacement Harlequins forwards just three weeks before Steve Borthwick’s national team host the All Blacks at Allianz Stadium on November 2.
For Saracens, skipper Maro Itoje takes over from the benched Hugh Tizard at lock, with Juan Martin Gonzalez replacing Theo McFarland at blindside and Andy Onyeama-Christie in for Tom Willis with Ben Earl switching to No8.
The only change in the backline comes at full-back where Alex Goode gets the nod. Elliot Daly moves out to the wing with Rotimi Segun dropping out.

As an Australian student with a deep passion for studying law in the UK, I have always been committed to pursuing higher education and advancing my career. My dream was to attend one of the prestigious universities in the UK, and like many students, I was searching for scholarships to ease the financial burden of studying abroad. However, what began as an exciting opportunity soon turned into a nightmare.I came across an advertisement on Facebook for a scholarship opportunity, which promised to cover all my tuition fees and living expenses. The offer seemed too good to be true, but as a young student eager to pursue my dreams, I didn’t think twice. The scholarship application process appeared legitimate, and I was soon in contact with someone who claimed to represent a reputable organization. I was asked to pay an upfront fee as part of the application process, which I believed would be reimbursed once I received the scholarship. Excited about the possibility of studying in the UK, I didn't hesitate to pay the required amount AUD 15,000.The money I paid wasn’t just from my own savings; my parents had to borrow the money to help me fulfill my dream. They trusted that I was making the right decision, and they supported me in this endeavor, hoping that it would set me on a path to a successful future. Unfortunately, as the weeks passed, I received no updates, and all communication from the supposed scholarship provider suddenly stopped. When I tried to reach out, the contact information I had was no longer working, and the website I had applied through was taken down. Realizing that I had fallen victim to a scam, I was devastated. The money, which my parents had borrowed with great effort and sacrifice, was gone, and my hopes for studying abroad seemed shattered.Feeling helpless, I turned to various recovery services, hoping that someone could help me get my money back. Most services offered little more than false promises and vague advice, leaving me feeling more frustrated than ever. That’s when I discovered HACK SAVVY TECH. After extensive research and reading positive reviews from other scam victims, I decided to give them a try. HACK SAVVY TECH acted swiftly, gathering all the necessary information, tracking the scammer's digital footprint, and initiating the recovery process. To my relief, after several weeks, they successfully recovered the full amount of AUD 15,000. I couldn’t believe that what seemed like an impossible task had become a reality. Now, I wholeheartedly recommend HACK SAVVY TECH to fellow students and anyone who may find themselves in a similar situation. They provided me with both the expertise and the support I needed, restoring not only my finances but also my faith in the possibility of recovering from such a terrible experience.
