Harlequins have announced the team that will face Bath Rugby in round two of the LV= Cup at the Twickenham Stoop on Friday evening, kick off 7.45pm.

There are four changes to the starting line-up that defeated Northampton Saints, Tom Williams is named at full-back, while Jordan Turner-Hall and George Lowe return from knee and ankle injuries respectively to partner in the centres.

In the forwards, one change is made in the front row as hooker Joe Gray starts. Open side flanker Luke Wallace retains the captaincy.

Tom Casson is named among the replacements after recovering from a head injury picked up during the Gloucester fixture.

Bath Rugby ready for Quins test

A mix of youth and experience will run out for Bath Rugby at the Twickenham Stoop tomorrow night as they take on Harlequins in Round Two of the LV= Cup (kick-off 19.45).

Lee Mears will captain the side at hooker, with Charlie Beech and Anthony Perenise either side of him in the front row. Dominic Day and Dave Attwood renew their second-row partnership, whilst Academy back-row Will Skuse and Guy Mercer are joined by Simon Taylor at the back of the scrum.

Academy scrum-half Chris Cook forges a new half-back partnership with Stephen Donald as Tom Biggs and Kyle Eastmond come back onto the wings. Ben Williams starts at inside centre with Matt Banahan moving to the outside centre berth, as 19 year old Ollie Devoto lines-up at fullback.

Double try-scorer against Newport Gwent Dragons Semesa Rokoduguni is named amongst the replacements, as is young fly-half Tom Heathcote who added 21 points from the boot in the 36-15 victory at the Recreation Ground.

Also on the bench is prop Alan Cotter, on loan from Munster, and Michael Claassens, who is in line to make his 150th appearance in the Bath jersey if he's called upon.

I feel we've put out too strong/established a team here. Though I think we are getting JTH and Lowe back to full fitness

Unusually strong teams from both sides for an LV= game - but the return match at the Rec a week later is an AP game, so there may be some element of both DoRs wanting to put a marker down.

On the other hand... I'm not sure who Bath have rested for this one, but the list of Quins players who are fit, available and not on the teamsheet includes Robson, Kohn, Easter, Evans, Monye and Hopper.

Assuming no new injuries, I'd expect Quins to put out a side for Friday week that's only appreciably weaker than the First XV in the front row (and in captaincy).

Very strong looking team, good to see a few key players rested and some youngsters getting plenty of game time.

Really pleased to see Lowe back playing, lets hope he comes through unscathed.

I can understand why Bath have put such a strong side out, as this really will be their only route into the HC Wink Run

2 very strong sides which should make for a great game. It's a shame this match isn't being televised. Even though Bath are closer to their first team than Quins I can see the home advantage giving Quins the game.

As Quins are in the same group as Glaws in the LV I really should be wanting them to lose, but I just can't bring myself to cheer for Bath censored

WE'll take that win. Nice to see Grimoldsy taking his kicks on his debut at 18 and Sinckler getting some game time

Grimboldy got about 20 mins so a pretty good run, good to see Lowe get through 50 mins as well.

Quins going well so far although I still don't really understand the format of the comp!

We are paired with another pool, we play all the teams in that other pool (means each Welsh team has to play another Welsh team) and we aim to do better against the opposition that the other teams in our pool do. The winners in the pools procede to SFs ranked on performance with 1st playing 4th etc then there is a final

I hate the LV format - I'd rather just play the teams in the same pool as eachother.

This way you could find 2 teams in the same pool all winning their games but one of them not going through on the points differece. And another pool winner thats lost 2 games that still qualifies.
