I hope the Bulls smash the Saints.

Quins grab a 4th and finish the half well on top.

Nice one Quins to get it out past one score; now they need to just take any points on offer & force Bordeaux to take the risks

Bordeaux strike back again, but Lucu fucks the conversion. Quins have the slightest of leads with a couple of minutes to play!

Holy shit :lol:

That was feeling a lot like the premiership final game, just two high quality teams slugging it out until the very end with some superb scores.

Superb performance, superb result. Incredibly proud of that.

Fin Baxter, Will Collier... Wow.

Really well played Quins. Strange sport considering bordeaux battered sarries who battered quins. Think the English league is definitely going the correct way about it by making the league flatter and competitive even if we do suffer against leinster and the French giants.

Fair play, I didn't think much would top Leinster fans singing allez les bleus for cringe, but having the stadium announcer lead them through a mediocre version of the Viking clap is up there

Yeah. Obviously I want LaR to win primarily for the lolz, but that was a bonkers call at the scrum.

Surely that's lost forward by Lowe? It's not a pass. Lowe has lost it forwards and it's caught by JGP. If he had released it first I could understand the call, but...

Yeah, but that isn't quite what happened. While holding the ball he whacks it into the shoulder and loses control forward. JGP regathering after doesn't stop it being a knock on. All very odd.

It really is the ultimate in NH rugby to win the Champs Cup. Once you win it you are part of the royalty. Harlequins have pulled off an epic victory today. To get to the final it will have to be even more epic. To win the final etc.

Leinsters defence is breached at the point when they the ref doesn't just let them relentlessly fall on the wrongside.

The funniest moment of that half wasn't the "pass" for the the try, for me it was J G-P rolling the ball back in the tunnel instead of feeding the scrum

Leinster must be very good, seeing the level of English whining here.

(Though the feed into the scrum was very sideways)

Looked okay tbh. LaR probably don't want too many replays because there was a huge upright shot in midfield that looked pretty bad at first glance

Porter put his hand on the ball and was immeadiately cleared our, and got the penalty.
