The Quins board not happy with the team, fearing a beating. Probably means Bris will be dreadful and we'll get naff all...

[Raggs]

I know that I'd be favouring Bris to win that on paper.

[Mikey Brown]

Young Lamb is fitting for such a fearsome lock pairing.

[Dan. Dan. Dan.]

Definitely. Although Quins inconsistency is such this is the kind of game they'll win...

[Stom]

Lol

[Mellsblue]

The more I watch Quins the more I’m convinced they’re not well coached.

[fivepointer]

Nice finish by Smith but other than that, Quins didnt really offer much in attack. Bris got on top to take the try BP. Randall looked really sharp.

[Epaminondas Pules]

Thought Lynagh looked decent, certainly in attack, though made plenty of tackles. Stepped in on Luatua for the last try, which was probably his only down point.

[twitchy]

Has lynagh decided if he is english or aussie yet?

[fivepointer]

He has an Italian mother and was born in Italy. Who knows where he will end up. Thought he played quite nicely. Got good feet and a bit of pace.

I was just googling him and found an article saying that Zinzan Brooke’s kid lucas plays for london irish. Has anyone watched him?

[TheNomad]

Why did Malins go off? Injured I presume - how bad did it look?

[jimKRFC]

Thought I was going to be horribly right after the first half!

Much better second half and Lloyd looks better and better the more he plays.

Malins took a knock to his knee, he's due two.weeks rest though (Earl and Sinckler started theirs this week). But Charles P and Morahan are due back next week so we should be ok.

Yes. He mixed between blindside and hooker. Was in the same Wellington side as Fin Baxter. Hits hard, runs hard, decent over the ball. Baxter was by far the standout player in that side, which was al round a bloody good team. Brooke looks ok.

[Epaminondas Pules]

This is Lucas Brooke

Jeez doesn’t he just! Looks an incredible talent!
