Speaking ahead of the game, Director of Rugby Steve Diamond has said: “We need to take our recent home form down to Quins on Friday. It will be a tough game, they have started the season very well and the Stoop is a hard place to go. It’s our second time in London this season and last time we were down there we lost to Saracens, so we need to get that game out of our minds and play like we did on Sunday against Northampton.”
