Robshaw and Evans both out of Saturday’s meeting with Leinster

The Harlequins pair were injured in Sunday's win at The Stoop

Good news for Leinster fans, as Harlequins have confirmed they’ll be without two of their most important players for Saturday night’s crucial Pool 2 game in the Aviva Stadium.

Nick Evans, who was substituted after just 11 minutes on Sunday afternoon, will not feature this weekend, and Quins have also confirmed they’ll be without England captain Chris Robshaw, who needs to see a specialist after a shoulder injury.

Robshaw was instrumental in Sunday’s win for Harlequins at the Stoop, and the club have said that while they’re still waiting for further assessment before establishing a time-frame, he will not be available for selection against Leinster.

Evans’ replacement on Sunday, Tim Swiel, kicked a conversion and two penalties in the win, but the South African-born 21-year-0ld did miss two of his five kicks at goal in the win.
