Overview

• Harlequins confirmed Toby Booth’s role as a forwards consultant rather than head coach, countering earlier reports.
• Danny Wilson’s exit to join Wales under Steve Tandy prompted the restructure close to the season start.
• Jason Gilmore steps up to lead the group that includes Nick Evans for attack, Adam Jones for the scrum and Gerard Mullen for skills.
• Quins lost their PREM Rugby Cup opener to Newcastle and face Leicester next before launching the Premiership campaign against Bath at a sold-out Stoop.
• Booth returns to the Stoop after a previous stint as a Harlequins assistant and four years in charge of the Ospreys.
