Harlequins

Harlequins are overhauling their squad ahead of the 2026-27 season, with Wales international prop Sisilia Tuipulotu arriving from Gloucester-Hartpury while seven players depart, including England legend Joe Launchbury who has retired with immediate effect following an emotional farewell. South African forward Danelle Lochner has penned a new Premiership Women's Rugby deal with the club, bolstering their international credentials even as Joe Jones and Jack Dickinson exit to Worcester Warriors. The Londoners suffered a heavy 33-52 defeat to a revitalised Sale Sharks in a thrilling 13-try encounter, marking a rocky patch that's prompted the significant restructuring of their playing roster.
