Harlequins keep the faith, changing just one of their match day 23
Billy Millard has confirmed an unchanged Harlequins team for this Sunday’s Investec Champions Cup semi-final away to Toulouse.
The Londoners beat off Gallagher Premiership leaders Northampton with a 41-32 win at Twickenham last Saturday.
They will now travel with the same XV to France after resisting the temptation to change things up, including potentially starting England loosehead Joe Marler in place of the young Fin Baxter.
The only alteration to last week’s match day 23 is the inclusion of the fit-again James Chisholm on the bench in place of Will Trenholm.
As was the case against the Saints, Quins have again gone with a five-three forwards/backs split for a cup match they have described as the biggest in the club’s history.
Harlequins (vs Toulouse, Sunday)
15. Tyrone Green; 14. Louis Lynagh, 13. Luke Northmore, 12. Andre Esterhuizen, 11. Cadan Murley; 10. Marcus Smith, 9. Danny Care; 1. Fin Baxter 2. Jack Walker 3. Will Collier 4. Irne Herbst 5. Stephan Lewies (Captain) 6. Chandler Cunningham-South 7. Will Evans 8. Alex Dombrandt. Reps: 16. Sam Riley 17. Joe Marler 18. Simon Kerrod 19. George Hammond 20. James Chisholm 21. Will Porter 22.

Tate McDermott made it quite clear the Wallabies hate playing the rigid dull kiwi style Schmidt is trying to impose on them, just as they hated playing under kiwi Thorn at the Reds for the same reasons. Hmmmm, are we seeing a pattern here ?
That is why Thorn and Schmidt went for the dull boring south African born Liam Wright as captain and why the Reds come alive when he is off injured.
