Proctor and Francis late withdrawals, Collins onto the wing and Hutch to 12 with Naiyaravoro on the bench.

Not ideal to loose these two players.

Two seasons at Goldington Rd Finishing School so he’s eminently qualified.

That 2nd half was total dogshit from Saints. To score 0 points from a 2 man advantage is awful, especially with a strong scrum we could have gone for a push over on, instead choosing to fling it out and give it away

Enjoyable first half with plenty of enterprise and some good tries. 2nd half was a bit of a mess. Saints management in the final quarter was simply horrible.

As a Quins fan, it’s a novelty to come away from a BP win feeling disappointed with the performance. Ultimately, the score line really flattered us.

We’ve developed a bit more doggedness which is good to see, but Saints were very poor and a better side would have blown us away in the second half.

We also seem to have a bad habit of playing well for a half and poorly for the other which we need to fix.
