Okay. And the knock on?

Unrelated but I wish they'd put the cameras on the other side here. The shadow area is really annoying.

Do Quins have another mythical comeback in them?

Garbisi's dead ball kicking has been, well, frankly, garbage for MH in T14 and continuing that here.

The knock on I didn't check but as per my previous post I assume it was one

And more bad kicking. He really needs to sort this out if he wants to become a complete intl FH for Italy.

Was Esterhuizen onside there? Earlier move looked like another knock on by Quins too.

I'd like to see whether Jones was taken out when trying to connect with Smith's chip. The officials are missing things on both sides.

Yeah. The kick worked once but this is just massively overplaying it.

Brace is a joke. Should be nowhere near a pro rugby game.

If you're trying to catch the ball then you're fair game.

Pathetically lazy by MH but Quins making them move is now beginning to hurt them.

Quins scrum has looked good. But also raises the question over what the point of Haouas is.

Only if you actually have hands on it. You can't tackle someone before they begin to gather. Now, we didn't see a replay, but my live impression was that Jones hadn't yet touched the ball when he was brought to ground.

Wonderful try. Shows what we can do when we try and play with a bit of patience in our own half

There's no way that's forward, fuck off French TV

Brace you clown. The pass might not have been fwd but not to check it at all is abject.

Why? It was fairly obviously not forward and referees should not be influenced by the cunts at French TV and the crowd booing everything

More rubbish from Brace. Pen was fine but what about the MH knock on immediately before?

Because is was not obvious at all and even the English commentators were asking and they have the replays/TV to see so no way Brace could tell from his position.

Unclear why, having been gifted a pen, MH dont take the 3 to calm it down.

I really hope Galthie is watching this so Haouas gets nowhere near another selection.

It was obvious. Marchant was behind him and took the ball on his hip.

Good Lord he really has not cared about how players win turnovers at all

Especially considering he let Willemse spend an age on the floor blocking the scrum half at the preceeding ruck

Hmm. Get the impression The Stoop is a much smaller pitch which means Quins are going to struggle to breach MH quite as easily in order to overcome that deficit.

Entertaining enough game in the end.

The referee has been fine in this match. He's been consistent to both teams equally.

I agree. I think early doors he favoured Quins but after that it just became a joke at the breakdown with the outcome for either side random.
