Ibitoye doesn’t look ready for adult rugby

Why go for that kick!!!!!!!

Gutted. I can't tell if that was the wrong call or not. There was only a foot or so in it.

I'd have loved to make the play-offs but I can't say I feel we were too hard done by, too many mistakes of our own doing.

I agree. 5th is a fair reflection of where we are and full credit to Saints for playing their way in to the top 4.

100% agree. He looks a shadow or the player he was at U20 level. Murley has had less of a stellar age grade career, but has impressed far more at senior level.

It underlines why we can’t go in to next season without investing in a first team quality wing to replace Earle. Even if Earle wasn’t injured, I’d argue that we need another senior winger with Visser, Walker and Alofa leaving.

Ibitoye hasnt really settled in to senior rugby yet. Thought he would make more of a mark but he's got time on his side.
5th place is a good return for Quins. Top 6 is a solid effort and gives them Champions Cup rugby next season.
Good response from the coach - "Paul Gustard, after yesterday’s loss - “I have to improve, I made too many mistakes, so i'll critically reflect. I’ll get players to give me feedback on how I’ve coached.”
