Llandovery host the first of our back-to-back festive derbies at Church Bank this Saturday, 21st December.
Our west Wales neighbours currently sit in fourth position in the table with six victories from nine games, with 34 points keeping pressure on the top three teams in the Super Rygbi Cymru table.
Head coach Lyndon Lewis has made ten changes to the starting line up from the side that faced Aberavon at Carmarthen Park last week.
Club stalwart Lee Taylor, now in his tenth season with the Quins, returns to captain the side with fellow lock Josh Helps back in the starting XV.
In a change to the front row, loosehead prop Rhys Fawcett is named in the front row in what will be his third start of the season. Hooker Sion Jones and tighthead prop Connor Allen retain their places from last week’s defeat.
There are wholesale changes in the back row with positional changes for Lewys Millin (6) and Ben Williams (7), and a return to the side for Scarlets’ Carwyn Tuipulotu at 8.
Aled Thomas remains an experienced pair of hands at outside half with Rhodri Davies making room for Rhodri Lewis at scrum half.
Louis Rees and Ifan Davies remain on the wings with Jac Howells moving from inside to outside centre. Gabe McDonald is set to make his tenth appearance of the season in the centre, while Iori Badham will make his tenth appearance of the season at fullback.
