Aviva Premiership champions Harlequins FC will look to bounce straight back from their defeat at the hands of Saracens FC last weekend as they take on the Exeter Chiefs in the Aviva Premiership this weekend. The champions currently lie in second place on the table after making a blistering start to the new campaign and it seemed that they would knock off whichever team that comes in their way.
But that hasn’t happened and after building an unbeaten streak at the start of the campaign, but that fell apart when they were stopped in their tracks by the brilliant Saracens FC team, which took a 16-18 win home. Although the loss would come as a blow for the high flying champions, Harlequins FC will know that their game improved a lot over last weekend’s game and in all probability, they deserved more from the game than they got.
The Quins travel to Devon to take on The Chiefs and they know that they will need to be on guard at all times if they are to protect themselves from getting hammered by Exeter, something that has been a reality for many a side which has gone there with high hopes. And in order to go for the win, the team is likely to make wholesale changes to the lineup that started against Saracens FC with Karl Dickson replacing Danny Care at scrum half, Joe Marler giving way to Mark Lambert at front row.
Harlequins FC have made it quite a habit of winning their away fixtures, and have won all of their last five games on the road. But The Chiefs are also almost unbeatable at home, having suffered just one loss since February, which means that the fans can expect a brilliant match which will see at least one streak broken.
