That’s a positive coming out of this game. When he came on today I thought he added that extra carrier, we started going forward on the back of it the breakdown got easier. Today was big for him to just build that confidence to go again. I’m just happy for Jack, it has been a long, it has been tough for him. 17:31Bobby BridgeMatson on Marler Even before he joined England for the Six Nations, [Marler] said that if there were any fallow weeks and he wasn’t getting game-time, he’d love to come back and play.

I don’t know how many hundreds of times he’s played here but the crowd love him and he loves them17:29Bobby BridgeLee Blackett reacton You don't know come the end of the season where that point will put us. We're frustrated, I am happy with the fightback to go and get a point of this. There's a lot of things in this gam we will look at, Harlequins were definitely the best team a the breakdown. We struggled with a bit of continuity off the back on the flip side i thought they were really good attacking odd the breakdown, tthey got quick ball and when Harlequins get quick ball, they can pick you off.

That’s always positive and, clearly, he’s had that conversation with Eddie Jones, which is fantastic for us. “On the back of that [performance], surely he’ll be playing against Wales. When he’s at his best, he’s one of the best players in the whole competition. It’s not just him as a practitioner at the scrum and around the field as a rugby player. He lifts the people around him. He’s a Harlequins talisman. Any time we have him back, it’s influential. He’s unique. He’s a fantastic practitioner of the game and he’s unique in his character.

Lewis Ludlam will lead out Northampton from openside flanker, while in the No. 8 jersey Sam Graham starts for the first time in a Gallagher Premiership match for Saints. Tommy Freeman could break a Gallagher Premiership record (which he equalled last weekend against Quins) on Sunday by scoring in his ninth consecutive league match – he starts on the wing for Saints with Ollie Sleightholme and fullback George Furbank making up the rest of the back three. New Zealand international Proctor returns to the visitors’ midfield as Fraser Dingwall remains at inside centre, and Northampton’s half-back pairing of Dan Biggar and Alex Mitchell continue together for the third straight week. Meanwhile amongst the replacements for Saints, David Ribbans and Ethan Waller are set to return to Premiership action from injury, and hooker Robbie Smith could make his league debut for the Club if he enters the action from the bench.
