-

London Irish v Harlequins Today, 3pm

HARLEQUINS are boosted by the return of their England quartet for today’s trip to London Irish.

Marcus Smith, Joe Marchant, Alex Dombrandt and Joe Marler are back in club action after being given a week off following their Red Rose Six Nations duty.

Quins attack coach Nick Evans said: “Everyone’s excited for the game.

“Having the England guys come back in gives everyone a bit of a lift, and they’re all chomping at the bit to be back involved.”

Fly-half Smith goes headto-head with Exiles’ Paddy Jackson whose 165 points haul is the second-highest tally in the league this season.

Mathieu Raynal will become the first French referee of a Premiershi­p match since he himself took charge of

London Irish’s clash with Northampto­n in October 2012.
