My abiding memory of him was in the Cup in 2016ish, when he had a 20m runup to run into a young Ted Hill, only to waver before contact and get absolutely demolished, so I'm interested to see how he's grown up.

Last try wins right? Right?

Quins beat Benneton, and of course Lynagh scored, lol.

Harlequins Starting XV: 1. Jordan Els (50) 2. Nathan Jibulu (61) 3. Titi Lamositele (61) 4. Irne Herbst (50) 5. Stephan Lewies (53) 6. Jack Kenningham (53) 7. Will Evans 8. Alex Dombrandt (61) 9. Will Porter (50) 10. Jarrod Evans (69) 11. Oscar Beard 12. Lennox Anyanwu (53) 13. Luke Northmore 14. Nick David 15. Leigh Halfpenny (61)

Impact Players: 16. Jack Walker (61) 17. Wyn Jones (50) 18. Simon Kerrod (61) 19. Joe Launchbury (50) 20. George Hammond (53) 21. Dino Lamb (53) 22. Tom Lawday (61) 23. Danny Care (50) 24. Jamie Benson (69) 25. Bryn Bradley (53) 26. Cassius Cleaves (61) 27. Will Joseph (61)

Cassius Cleaves scored a good try

Good to see Joseph and Kennkngham still fit and firing - hopefully a full season from the two of them. Doesn't look like you're missing anyone to injury really - you've even got both Launchbury and Lewies fit!

Lamb too. He had really stepped up as a player shortly before that horrible shoulder injury.

JJ jnr’s footwork is brilliant.
