Replacements: Cooper, Davison, Wilson, G. Young, Burrows, Stuart, Flood, Stevenson.

Two evenly match teams IMO.

Seems odd that we’re not starting Marler and Crumpton but Boyce has been playing well so I’m happy enough to see him there.

Good to see Clifford back in the Premiership and Dombrandt getting a start.

Are Quins happy with Brown on the wing now?

Yeah if it’s not some weird ploy to get Eddie to pick me then I don’t know why it’s happening.

I'm just disappointed with one thing. Brown is on the wing and Walker is nowhere to be seen...

I honestly think Walker and Ibitoye are our two best wings, but neither are getting a look in.

Pretty sure Ibitoye is injured.

Hence I wasn't pissed about him not being the squad.

Why doesn't Gustard like Walker? Is he just too good in attack for a former England coach?

Brown isn't on the wing according to the confirmed teams post on twitter.

Didn’t see the game but pleased with the result. This is exactly the sort of game we should be winning at home.

Newcastle are too good to be bottom, but really need to be picking up some points before it’s too late.

It was a truly dreadful game. Struggling to think of any redeeming features, apart from the fact we won

I can think of 2 important redeeming features.

90 minutes for Clifford.
Dombrandt is looking good.

His try was clever but his defence was very good. And considering all we knew about him was his carrying, that's a wonderful sign.

Falcons need to start picking up points fast. Thought they would get something out of this game.

Good signs about Clifford and Dombrandt.

Deano to get Falcons relegated and get the sack/walk away.
Tigers to fail to get into champions cup rugby and sack Glynn and Tom walks away.

Tigers get new chairman and Deano returns as DOR with Geordan as Head Coach.
Richards brings Witty, Radwan, Wilson and Green with him also.
Tigers dominate world rugby for 20 years.

Sorted!

Whoever does get relegated there’s going either be; some serious talent playing in The Championship next season or a load of quality players looking for a new club.

I didn’t see the game yesterday but Dombrandt has looked the business in the games I have seen.

I’d be tempted to put him at lock when Robshaw is back to fitness with Chisholm at 8 and Clifford at 7.

Lol. When all our players are fit and available for selection all the time? I wouldn’t worry too much about that dilemma.
