[Puja]

Is it just me, or is that Montpellier side a tad rotated? Bold choice if so.

Strong Quins side - you'd have Montpellier as favourites, but Quins do like a comeback and there'll be a couple of names wanting to set the record straight after getting their bottoms smacked in the first 50 minutes last week.

Great to see WEv back.

Montpellier have changed something like 8 players from starting XV. Not really sure what to make of that?

Making up the 14 point deficit is doable, but Quins need to be on it from minute 1, not minute 45.

[FKAS]

Hmm interesting, Quins starting XV looks mustard but the bench not so much. Montpellier look like they've kept some more than handy options back on the bench. Perhaps the French side are wary of tiring and having Quins take advantage again. Might be a bit of waiting to see how effective Quins will be, if Quins can't make inroads then there's some big names who won't need to play many minutes from the bench.

If Quins make it interesting and Montpellier decide to turn on the attack then the likes of Doumayrou and Mercer could make some real impact.

Quins may or may not make up the deficit. I reckon they've got a decent chance as long as they can get an early advantage. One things for sure though, its going to be fun watching them give it a go.

[32nd Man]

Smith really needs to knock that hitch kick on the head. Cost himself a couple of metres there wasting time with it.

[switchskier]

Adamson's a good ref for quins. He's all about the ball being quickly available.

Classsy from the french ten there.

Murley really is a solid player. Suspect he'll be a fan favourite no matter where he is and even if he never gets capped.

[twitchy]

Crazy from smith.

[Mellsblue]

Class try from start to finish.

[switchskier]

Fantastic try that. Everything went right and done perfectly

[32nd Man]

Could that bounce have been any better for the winger?

Went from a 50 50 to straight into his hands.

[Mellsblue]

The rugby gods are spoiling us this weekend.

[32nd Man]

Great kick.

Don't let it bounce ffs.

[Mellsblue]

Will Evans has been quality.

[32nd Man]

Dombrandt and Evans having great games.

[Mikey Brown]

Bollocks. Not able to watch this.

[32nd Man]

Sloppy drop from Symonds then a dreadful kick mistake from Care. Almost feels like Quinns need to take a deep breath and calm down for 5 minutes.

[32nd Man]

Borderline yellow for killing that break so cynically.

Biting off too much with the throw.

[Mellsblue]

There should be a yellow here.

[Mellsblue]

Adamson is desperate not to make a decision.

[32nd Man]

About 2 penalties too late but he's finally done the right thing.

[Mellsblue]

About 2 penalties too late but he's finally done the right thing.

Ha! Was just about to post exactly the same thing.

[32nd Man]

They're on top in the scrum but they're eating their time up here if they don't get the converted try soon.

[FKAS]

They're on top in the scrum but they're eating their time up here if they don't get the converted try soon.

They are milking the scrums a bit, need to be careful as Marler isn't even trying to drive straight anymore.

[switchskier]

I'd like to see the Pollard interception again. Argument for a penalty try if he isn't there?
