Anyone see what happened to Clifford? I missed most of the first half and he's already off.

Shame to hear, but couldn't believe he was back so quickly anyway.

Really can't call this game from here.

I fancy J Chisholm to be in the England reckoning this summer if he keeps playing like thise. If he hadn’t been injured for so long last season and had carried on his early season form he may have made Argentina.

yep, some good carries and very good over the ball.

Quins deserved something from that.

Aye. You spot that moment where he held the other Quins players back from the tackle/maul situation? It wasn't a pivotal moment or anything, but he has the kind of rugby brain to him that Robshaw has, combined with the athleticism, physicality and trundling power that stops a guy like Robshaw from being world class in any area. 6 or 8 though?

Just seen 96 metres pop up for his carrying stats today.

Chisholm very good, i thought. Smith again showed why he is so rated. Good battling effort from Quins who deserved a LBP at least.
Exe off colour, making errors you wouldnt normally expect. Devoto did some very nice things, while Woodburn again impressed. Decent run out for LCD.
Tough for Clifford to miss out and you have to feel for Sloan picking up another potentially bad injury. This game can be cruel at times.

Aye. Sloan is a tough one. IT clearly meant a massive amount to him fighting his way back to this stage. He was literally on the floor when I tuned in today. Gutted.

Really faded in the second half today. Agreed we should have at least been looking for a LBP.

I didn’t catch the game but really pleasing to hear Chisholm had a good game.

He was looking really promising and consistent last season and I think he could mature in to a very good physical, yet mobile 6. Post World Cup, who knows? He could be there or thereabouts. England like him enough to have taken him on the Saxons tour to SA even before he was looking good for Quins.

Gutted to hear Sloan is injured again. Rotten luck!

In what sense? He's been injured for an awful lot of it, or it at least feels that way. Every time he's had a run he's looked great to me. Whether as a 6 or 8 he really contributes on the ground too.

as in, his career has been a bit stalled, but you've answered why.

Smart move by Devoto to grow that little tache.
The opposition didn't know whether to tackle him or make him an offer on a used Jag.
