"As has become tradition, the south west London club will make the incredibly short journey across Cherstey Road to host their Christmastime home league match at Twickenham Stadium when they face Bristol Bears on Saturday. The event draws huge crowds every year and has evolved to a point where there are live music performances and events outside the ground. And the on-pitch action includes a double header of the women's team followed by the men's, with Bristol the opponents in both matches."
"Senior coach Jason Gilmore will lead the men's team on their traditional walk from The Stoop across to the main stadium for the first time, having taken over from Danny Wilson at the beginning of the season, and described it as a special occasion for the club. "We always get a really big crowd. The club put on a really good show for this game, the boys are really excited for it," he told BBC Radio London."
Harlequins will play Bristol Bears at Twickenham in their traditional Christmastime home league fixture, staged as a double-header with the women's match preceding the men's. The event attracts large crowds and includes live music and outside events. Senior coach Jason Gilmore will lead the men's team across from The Stoop for the first time since taking over this season. Quins sit third-from-bottom in the Premiership with two wins from six games but produced a 10-try victory over Bayonne in the European Champions Cup. Gilmore makes three forward changes: Harry Williams for Pedro Delgado, Kieran Treadwell for Stephan Lewies, and Zach Carr for Will Evans. Marcus Smith retains the fly-half role and Luke Northmore starts at centre.
