TMO: Stuart Terheege

Pretty happy with that line up (opinion may change as of 13.30, Saturday).

[fivepointer]

You should be. Thats a step up from the officials handling the other SF. Why isnt Luke Pearce taking one of these game?

Should be a belter! Hoping for the best for Bris but fearing worst...

[fivepointer]

Bris will be favourites but i wouldnt rule out a Quins win. Either way if both teams click and show their normal attacking intent we could be in for a tremendous game.

[Scrumhead]

Yep. Part of me is just happy that Quins are back in the play offs, but I do think we have a genuine chance.

Result aside, I’m hoping for a great, open and high scoring game.

[Mellsblue]

I’d buy a season ticket....

[Mellsblue]

Lawday’s d off the scrum is horrendous. Kenningham has a decent side step to add to his talents discussed on the other thread..... but he’ll have to learn not to tackle with his face.

[Banquo]

Malins gives quins a tiny sniff. Bristol brilliant wth the ball, and had their lineout been even par it could been even worse for quins.

Apart from that little blip (well forced by Green) Malins is having a great game. Fine all-round skills with pace and vision. I'd like to see him get an extended run in the England 15 shirt, though he looks as though he could play anywhere from 10-15.

indeed, though also done on the outside when lynagh nearly scored- and he isnt really a natural wing, but his roving and linking is top notch

[Banquo]

could be one of the great comebacks. Bears need to switch on. Charles off

[16th man]

Wayne thought he was an NFL ref for a second there.

[Banquo]

Brizz in trouble now, backrow weakened

[Banquo]

forward

[16th man]

God that's a tight one.

[Banquo]

lynagh is a good un

[16th man]

Great from Sheedy until that decision to take contact. Poke through there would have been interesting to see.

[Banquo]

kin ell. brizz defence fallen apart again

[16th man]

Beautifully done

[Raggs]

Lynagh looking very handy indeed so far. What position does he normally play? Or wants to play?

[Mellsblue]

lynagh is a good un

Yep.

[Mellsblue]

I’d buy a season ticket....

This.
Bedford with money.

[Banquo]

wow. Thacker then Marler drop the Prem. .

Quins now favourites, Brizz look shot

[francoisfou]

lynagh is a good un

England qualified? Are you watching, Eddie ?

[jimKRFC]

Bristol and play offs equal disaster....
