Newcastle will view this game as a huge opportunity to get another home win. Harlequins have been inconsistent this season and rely on expansive rugby to win games. This means they could fall right into Newcastle's trap. The Falcons will look to make the game scrappy and rely on Friday night weather in Newcastle to disrupt the Londoners' style of play. Harlequins have picked a strong side with Cunningham-South and Care as the only major omissions. Grayson is still missing for Newcastle so Ben Redshaw starts at fullback. There are also two potential debuts for Harlequins with England U20 World cup winners Friday and Waghorn on the bench.
