I've given up trying to work out how the quality of your team on paper translates to real life, but I'd think this should be a close game. Neither side playing particularly well, though we've looked a bit closer at times in the last 2 games.

I think you should really give us a solid cuffing based on what we've been turning out. I can't see our pack getting any kind of traction against yours.

Aslpand Robinson v Walker should be interesting

I'd hope quins could win this well. Good to have Ibitoye and Marchant in there.

Quins were good last week after a terrible opening and should have won. I take them to win tomorrow, though tigers might well take a LBP.
Marler v Cole should be a highlight.

We’re coming off a bad run of defeats, but our last two performances were good, particularly considering we were away from home against objectively superior opposition (Clermont and Exeter) with a number of our key players out (Care, Marchant, Horwill and Earle).

TBH, a few of our performances in defeat have been better than in a number of our wins.

We’re at home tomorrow with Care, Marchant and Horwill back in the side so I’m really hoping we can use this as an opportunity to match a performance with a result.

We’re still 100% in the hunt for the play offs so the incentive is there. I also think that if we win tomorrow, there’s a good chance we can back it up against Wasps at the Ricoh.

As an aside, it Leicester come away with nothing, Newcastle know that they can still stay up and ratchet the pressure back up with a win on Saturday.

Quins will win at a canter and then some.

Hoping Tigers will put in a big performance to solidify their Prem status next year, to do Saints a favour

Harrisons box kicking....

Never been his strong point I guess.

Clearly a yellow. Why the boos?

Home fan biased.

Be the same at every ground

I couldn’t see the turning in of the shoulder that Barnes mentioned, but I’m not going to argue too much, he still caught him in the head.

Harrison is so slow from the base. What has happened to him?

Speaking of slow, Barnes just called "Use it" and then Care took a full 9 seconds to box kick with nary a care in the world. What's the point in the law if it's not enforced?

Which one?

Well you’ve answered it there. There is seemingly no incentive at all to move the ball quickly.

I can't stand Kitchener

Oof. That cost you.

Leicester are just rubbish aren't they? Very lucky not to be going down this season. I was hoping Genge vs Sinck was going to be a bit more lively than it has been

Hopefully with Wilson, Goneva, Hammersely and Takalua out Falcons wont get the win.

statistically no club has ever been relegated with 39 points? So not that lucky.

Symons is such a lump. And not in a good way.

nicked a try, hardly deserved it. Got to give them credit, but a bit of a donation from Quins in the last 3 minutes.

Quins must have an eye on a Falcon player letting that try in.

I mean with the way they've played, they're lucky that Newcastle haven't had a season like they did last year. If they did it'd be a very close scrap between you and Warriors
