Smith really can’t get anything going today in hand, pretty much everything good from Quins has come through Care

Quins play pretty much describes where England rugby is, all huff and puff and posturing with fuck all end product.

Helter skelter. No phases strung together with a plan to get down the field as a unit.

Why did Bloometjies come on at 11 and replace Senatla??? He's about 15 mph slower.

Stormers’ defence has been superb. Quins have shown no lack of fight but have run out of ideas to break down this defence.

Agreed, just smothered all Quins attacking chances

Another Quins try as Stomps go to sleep.

Willemse has had a bloody mare apart from .5 secs of try magic in first half.

Bloometjies has been on for 9 mins, I think he's missed 10 tackles already

We do that every week. Keep us tight like Leinster did last week at HT and we're very beatable

32-28 Stormers full time. Much less close than that scoreline suggests. Smith couldn’t get anything going for 70 minutes then had some superb moments in the final 10.

Lost count of the number of times our game plan was "give it to Marcus a mile behind the gain line with defenders around him and hope for the best". Nearly made a few tries out of those situations but we were absolutely smashed today. Stormers a joy to watch in attack and absolutely merciless in defence. I've never seen our biggest players just destroyed in contact time and again like that.

Well done on the win. Shame we can't get to see how good they are compared to other top tier Super Rugby franchises. Hope our injuries aren't too bad.

The ref ruined the Stomps v Harlequins match a bit. The Stomp's 16th man.

Cheers Boet. Disappointed with our bench effort. Usually good in close out games.

That's bollox. Varney jumps into him. On that basis, no-one will be able to attempt a charge down.

Compare that with Cane smashing BB this am and that wasn't even penalised.

Been disappointed with Dombrandt's progress. I thought he was a real prospect but he really disappears when his team loses momentum. Quins really missing Lynagh and Tyrone Greene too.

French crowds booing and whistling because the ref has to stop play for a bad head injury. They really are the worst
