Can somebody not do something about Quins Strip ?

Either change it; or give them a 5 point penalty !

Posted: **Fri Jan 14, 2022 8:50 pm**

We've binned off the supplier for next season afaik

Posted: **Fri Jan 14, 2022 8:52 pm**

What a shithouse try.

Posted: **Fri Jan 14, 2022 8:53 pm**

Q: since the Cardiff player got the yellow card on around the 43 minute mark on the first half, does he come back on at 47 minutes or 50 minutes?

I guess we’ll find out soon enough

Quins must have the nod on the ultimate colours/patterns

I quite enjoyed the commentator's comment on the strip, "You'll have your own view"

Well that was shit hot.

Smith is just unreal

That’s a quick card for Dombrandt, given he allowed Cardiff to infringe 6 or 7 times in a row in the 1st half before reaching for the card.

Guess he decided that it was just cynical enough.

The Cardiff players are latching on to the carrier before they even pick up the ball, let alone before contact.

Posted: **Fri Jan 14, 2022 9:31 pm**

Christ, Cardiff getting some breaks today...

Posted: **Fri Jan 14, 2022 9:31 pm**

Quins so poor, Green fucked that up royally

Posted: **Fri Jan 14, 2022 9:33 pm**

Green again, he has had a mare, Northmore as well

One hell of a YC period so far for the Blooos

They're allowed to I believe, commentary team is incorrect. What they're not allowed to do then is come off their feet after the tackle, which they are also doing and should be pinged for.

Posted: **Fri Jan 14, 2022 9:39 pm**

Well that was a soft try to concede.

You're allowed one man to latch, not the two Cardiff were doing - not on every carry, but on some of them

Posted: **Fri Jan 14, 2022 9:44 pm**

Retarded not to take the 3 by Blues.

Posted: **Fri Jan 14, 2022 9:48 pm**

Edinburgh battered Cardiff last week by keeping their defence tight and shipping it wide very quickly, there are a lot of Cardiff players in shot at every ruck but Quins aren't exploiting it.

Posted: **Fri Jan 14, 2022 9:54 pm**

Odds on a 33-33 draw?

Posted: **Fri Jan 14, 2022 9:57 pm**

Canned boo-ing

Posted: **Fri Jan 14, 2022 9:59 pm**

Smith making sure his conversion's easier.

Thanks Priestland.

Posted: **Fri Jan 14, 2022 10:03 pm**

Now, shunning those 3 looks even more retarded by the Blues and they cap it off with the dimmest of gimmes at the death.

Posted: **Fri Jan 14, 2022 10:06 pm**

Quins got out of jail there bigtime, second best in most areas of that game for the second week running. Smith got them over the line again. What has happenned to the Quins defence, it was all over the place.

Posted: **Fri Jan 14, 2022 10:06 pm**

I'm increasingly convinced that Quins do this on purpose, they're just a bunch of adrenaline junkies seeking the high of last gasp wins.

Posted: **Fri Jan 14, 2022 10:07 pm**

I thought Huw Jones was a good signing, i retract that assertion, he is utter shite.

This - I thought Cardiff were very, very poor last week. Are Quins just not very good tonight, were Cardiff holding back last week or are Edinburgh better than we thought?

It doesn't seem to matter the opposition, Quins are consistently putting themselves in a position where they have to rescue the match late. They'll raise their game to the level required for that.

Quins haven't hit their straps this season. Thankfully they're at a point where scoring tries is usually pretty easy for them, and they've scored a good amount the last few months while butchering maybe the same amount. Defence has improved this season from last but tonight it was the worst it's been since last season. I wouldn't read too much into the game.

To be fair to whoever was in charge of the canned audience they played some 'Come all within' in the last few minutes.

Played like piss and won with a bonus point away from home on yet another plastic pitch, can't be happy with the performance but job done nonetheless.

Helped by the Blues f**king thick decision to turn down 3 to extend the lead to 10. At that point, they could have kicked the ball off the park at the end rather than trying to run it out from their 22. Someone earlier asked what had happened to taking the easy 3s and this highlighted the futility.

Re plastic: I think I am a converted advocate. Each club I see playing on them has had to change style to a more entertaining brand.

That might have been informed by their kicker having missed a couple of conversions and one absolute sitter of a penalty.

Fucking Sonja McGlaughlan.

It's 18 years ago, zero need to have a dig Poitrenaud about that Howley try when he's interviewing in his capacity as a coach.

Posted: **Sat Jan 15, 2022 1:26 pm**

A lot of scrap and heart from Wasps so far, nice to see.

Yup. Still irks me. I walked out of Twickenham as soon as it happened: I knew it was a try from the "WTAF have you just done" look Clerc was giving Poitre-faut.
