Ah, Lynagh is back. That's big.

Go Falcons!

Nothing against Quins but its no fun seeing Newcastle getting stuffed every week. A win would do them - and the Premiership - the world of good.

Was he even injured? I thought he was just off form since being out for so long. It would be great if he can get his confidence back though. It seems like such a long time ago he was neck and neck with Murley as an England prospect.

Some very key names missing for Quins. No idea how far off Newcastle’s best side that is.

I thought he'd been out again. Maybe I'm wrong. But yeah, he really does need to start to come back...

They're missing both of their Puma international centres and Carreras on the wing. Think they might be missing a 9 and a couple of forwards.

Doubt it'll matter much given the budget discrepancy.

Who is the Quins cover if Edwards goes off injured?

Green

Good test for both young looseheads, and for Pepper against Evans.

It might be fun, but definitely not something I’d like to see in a game with a close score.

I thought Green cut his teeth as a 10 before taking on the Flight Lieutenant Furbank role for Quins.

Please do not compare the shaggy bearded, unkempt South African to the beautifully coiffured, moustachioed and classically educated English gent ever again, unless using the phrase ‘poor man’s’.

I feel like I’ve heard that, but no way he’s anything other than a wing/fullback.

I mean I’m sure he’d be at least as good there as Brad Barritt or Thibaut Flament, but that doesn’t mean I want to see it for Quins.

Is Green the Ginger to Furbank's Biggles?

I didn’t see this one, but don’t think even as a Quins fan I can really enjoy watching Falcons get beaten like this anymore.
