Much more like it from Quins now, Cardiff probably starting to tire a bit and some things that didn't stick in the first half have started to.

Enjoyable game - Cardiff falling away now but they were great value in the 1st half and played some very enterprising rugby.

Dombrant has had a huge game.

Not always Frank Murphys biggest fan; but I do like that he makes his decisions quickly; & doesn't refer them continually to the TMO. :thumbup:

He obviously likes to keep the game flowing; & he's been an important part of what an enjoyable game this has been.. plus he's doing bloody well to keep up with play in a game like this :grin:

Clearly forward. Shame, that was another cracking finish by Lynagh.

Should we not be taking a closer look at Fish on Green? Only saw it briefly, but Green went reeling backwards.

He's a 31 year old so it's remarkable he can even run </shanklin>

Enjoyed that.
Good display from Cardiff until they tired.
Ref had a good game as well

Actually just had a look and he full on shoulders him in the jaw.

Shanklin being paid for commentary is one of life's mysteries.

Harlequins might be a bit concerned that a cobbled together Cardiff, with 40 players missing, were still level after about 60 mins.

Great game (Quins v Cardiff).

Took Quins a while (20 mins into 2nd half) to realise they were being beaten at their own game before using power to overcome their oppos. Thought Cardiff missed a trick in those 20 mins in 2nd half because for all their clever play, they didn't use Haloholo or Lee-Lo with direct running to tie in some of Quins' defenders.

Meh. Still a pretty strong 1st XV playing like they had nothing to lose, and despite playing poorly Quins were a knock on short of 50.'2 from 2 for a side outside the top 4 with no European pedigree is just fine

After that game, I think we all had clearly under rated Cardiff. Remember they made Toulouse work friggin' hard last week.

I went up to Glasgow to see Sarries play out a 3-3 draw at Hughenden ages ago - this sort of visibility plus power showeresque rain. Thought both sides did well to score as many points as they did.
Going to take some concentration to watch!

I'm going to guess the players can see the ball but this is a farce for the TV viewers.

Exeter looking very one dimensional in that half. Fortunate to be just 3 points down. Horrid game to watch.
