Injured Wilson to lead Quins

David Wilson will continue as Harlequins club captain even though he will miss most of the season because of a knee injury.

The 34-year-old Australian flanker has had an operation on the knee which he damaged during Quins' European Shield Final win over Narbonne in May.

Quins' team manager Mike Scott said: "David remains as club captain after being a huge influence for us in his first year with the club.

"Somebody else will be leading the team out. It is a long road and optimistically he will be able to play again in March or April."
