NEC Harlequins have selected a 27-man squad for their pre-season friendly against Bristol at the Memorial Stadium on Saturday (20th August), kick-off 3.00pm; a game that will be contested over four 20 minute periods.
In the back division, Adrian Jarvis once again starts ahead of Andrew Mehrtens at fly half, while Will Greenwood partners Ireland international Gavin Duffy in midfield. Tom Williams, Simon Keogh and Ugo Monye form the back three, having all missed the game against London Irish last Friday (12th August) due to being in the Quins squad that competed in the Compass Group Middlesex Sevens.
Summer signing Ian Vass gets another chance at scrum half, though Steve So'oialo replaces Duncan James on the replacements bench.
In the pack, Tani Fuga is at hooker ahead of Jimmy Richards, while Jim Evans partners Kevin Burke in the second row. Recent signing Pablo Bouza starts in the back row on the blindside flank, with Nick Easter taking over from Tony Diprose at number eight.
