Surely we can assume that Glynn at 6 means Clifford is being semi-rested, otherwise that's ridiculous.

[Peej]

The story is that it's rotation and rest.

Surprised Joe C hasn't been released this week, but then as far as I can tell no England players have.

[Scrumhead]

Surely we can assume that Glynn at 6 means Clifford is being semi-rested, otherwise that's ridiculous.

I hope so. Not sure why we’d rotate Marler and Clifford TBH.

The selection suggest to me that PG is focusing on the remaining home games and hoping we can pick up losing BPs on the road.

If we really want to show we’re play off contenders, we should be aiming to beat Bath and I don’t think a team including Glynn and Ross Chisholm doesn’t feel like we’re going for it.

At least the choice of Chis is through necessity: all our wingers are crocked again.

[Scrumhead]

Is Walker injured? I thought he was just persona non grata.

Ah yes, of course...

[Which Tyler]

Not going well.

Ben'os back!

[Which Tyler]

A real nail biter!

[Scrumhead]

I’ve been sat in a restaurant refreshing every couple of minutes. So please with that result! Come on you Quins!

[fivepointer]

Sounds like quite a game. Good effort from Quins to score in the last minute to win.
They are up to 3rd place now and have very good chance of staying in the top 4.
Gustard doing a fine job.

[Mikey Brown]

Really looked determined to butcher that one. Seemed we’d let the game go several times in the last 10 but somehow managed it. For all everyone is talking about Donbrandt’s body shape he seems to still be putting the work in at the late stages of the game quite often.

[Timbo]

Nathan Earle has been a terrific signing for Quins.

Beno Obano

[Mikey Brown]

Nathan Earle has been a terrific signing for Quins.

I was very, very dubious but he seems to be more consistently showing what he can do with a lot of gametime.

[Scrumhead]

Just caught the highlights. Some superb tries in there.
