No, he’s started a few for them, and then got a slight knock. Started the semi against Exeter two weeks ago on his return.


Cracking to see Loader back for Irish!

Agreed. Just needs to stay fit, which has been his biggest problem.

Yep. He should have plenty of opportunity with Robshaw leaving and possibly Kunatani too.

Harlequins just seem to get exponentially worse when playing teams further down the table. I don't understand it.

Most days I'd back our chances vs Saracens rathe than Worcester or Li.

Quins have no consistency. They've had a couple of good results and now this.

The league is ridiculously tight. There are only 10 pts between 3rd place Sale (26) and Leicester (16) in 11th!

I was trying to be upbeat. But yes, the quality and consistency of play from most of the league isn't up to much.

Sorry, being flippant, and indeed supporters of said clubs will relish the tightness as it were :)- however, its not doing much for the national team, twas ever thus. The sheer number of average players plying their trade remains an issue.

The sheer number of injuries is also having an impact.

Quins must surely be doing something to sort this out, it's at ridiculous levels and it's been going on for years. Absolute years. There's something seriously wrong.

Will Evans was excellent in a losing side. Really was a nuisance all game.

Was also impressed with Ben Loader at 15 - seems a proper full back with all the skills
