Two tries from mauls for Worcester so far. Their pack is on top for sure, Quins have no set piece at the moment. Morris has screwed us twice so far with his kicking.

Ref is very different this time, two legit turnovers (once each) penalised.

Total lack of intensity from Quins, no excuse even if it's not the 1st XV.

Quins salvage a terrible kick forward with good defence to win a turnover penalty. Brett Herron kicks the penalty dead. Idiot.

We concede a penalty at the resulting scrum. Just not good enough...

Third try from a maul, though I can't for the life of me see how the ref decided that was down. Quins second best everywhere though. I look forward to our late second half comeback falling short of a losing bonus point.

No idea why we're consistently such bad starters. This is a pounding at the moment.

Shame I can't record this - a Quins set piece play that was just comedy and deserves a wider audience. Ended with Scott Steele trying to snipe against several players with no support and getting monstered by Hougaard, who then won a penalty at the breakdown.

Happily I like slasher movies so this match is right up my street.

Glaws - Sarries has been pretty turgid, but the former just worked a magnificent score to inject some life into proceedings.

Nightmare on Elm Street.

Bonus point by half time for worcs. Another maul, this time Hougaard breaks off the back of it, beats a piss weak tackle, and scores.

I'd say Quins are going through the motions but as an expert in that field I can confidently state they're not even that bothered. Some of these guys are stealing a living right now. Dino Lamb is our best player ffs.

The Leicester v L.Irish match is quite entertaining. Very little end product but they are trying hard.

Yeah, I've seen us play much worse this season. Pretty loose game

Scoreline is familiar though

Saracens definitely came out after half time significantly more switched on than their visitors. Scoreline starting to look a bit ugly after two quickfire tries. Gloucester don't really have an answer to the maul.

We haven't conceded a try yet this half! Not scored any points, mind.

The useless Herron and Cavubati are off, Quins looking a bit better as a result. Aaron Morris can fuck all the way off though.

Our wings have actually seen the ball in this half.

Audio's completely out of sync on my stream now and the onyl alternatives I can find seem to be about half an hour behind. Confusing viewing experience now.

Quins doing their usual face saving twenty minutes, albeit with the help of some actually decent players off the bench. Far too little too late. It's not really a surprise that a rank second xv is worse than worcs's 1st xv but the application in the first half was not good enough. Dismal attitude.

With two minutes to go and an outside chance of Quins getting a losing bonus point, Worcs kick straight to Morris who sets off on a weaving slalom run, beating players for fun and scoring under the pohahaha of course he didn't he just shanked it straight back to them and watched as they put ball behind him and got great territory

Worcs win 29-14, well deserved. Quins much better in the second half (3-14) but that first half was an embarrassment.

Mercer still looks incredibly stringy for a 23 year old professional forward.

Nice tempo to the game so far.

That feels unfortunate, but it did end up being pretty dangerous for Mercer.

Wish the commentator's would shut the fuck up during those ref/TMO conversations though. Lol was doing my head in.

Big Lol does have a bad habit of taking a lot of time to say nothing, especially at moments like that.

Everyone ignoring the fact the player got clocked clean in the jaw by a swinging arm by a desperate defender who had no realistic chance of stopping the try

Cool, glad we've decided to ignore those laws

Gee I wonder why this player has been injured for minutes and is going off on a board with a neck injury

Any ideas ref?

Magic? Divine intervention?

Why would we suddenly start to do anything else? I've been calling that out for years.

Saints have wasted so much territory it's embarrassing

And the RFU need to pay serious attention to the Bath medics. Almost all of them wearing their masks below their noses, just pointless

Do Quins have a 1st XV then?

Yes, it's largely the team that got a bonus point win today.

It's quite remarkable how much you care about Quins though - more obsessed than some of our most one eyed fans.

1sts (or near enough) of the league leaders vs. reserves of one of the league's weakest teams. We'll see a few more of these before the season's done, the fixture congestion all but guarantees it.
