Is lynagh crocked again. Shame Will Joseph has been usurped by Beard imo. Launch benched. CCS will be interesting.

Some talk he's being carefully managed, and some talk that he's leaving...

I hope it's the former.

[Danno]

Joseph in for Cam Amderson (must have picked up a squeak) on the wing, Lynagh on the bench

[fivepointer]

All eyes on the England squad players. A lot to look forward to in this one.

[Mellsblue]

Nick David is having a complete disaster in d. On the flip side, Raynal is giving an absolute masterclass in improv comedy.
Dombrandt doing a lot of ‘unseen work’.

[p/d]

What happened to Beard?

[Mellsblue]

What happened to Beard?

Bloody timely HIA

[twitchy]

Stockdale actually handed him the ball back somehow?

[twitchy]

[Mellsblue]

That try had it all.

[p/d]

That try had it all.

What’s that now?

[Mellsblue]

Love W. Joseph.

[FKAS]

Nice to see Smith still putting his body on the line to make a try saving tackle even with the game long since won.

[Banquo]

Evans remains quality. Strange game, great finishing from quins

Fin Baxter looked good, CCS had his moments

Billy Burns brings to tackling what Eric did to Lovejoy

[fivepointer]

Typically entertaining Quins game which did contain more than the usual number of happy bounces for the home team.

CCS had great energy, thought Dombrandt did some very good things and the half backs worked well.

[Stom]

Apart from the tries - how was Lynagh? It's great to see him back doing what he does best, but missed the game live.

England A? Or even on standby for the full squad?

They said one of the main issues has been his defence, which was somewhat wanting again. He chased well, and scored an absolute belter (with a fortuitous bounce to help) due to staying in the chase. As ever good with ball, not as good without.
