Shit performance by Quins, Green needs a proper break. Told you our back row would be a problem - not helped by Foley thinking a tackler being on the floor with the tackled player lying on top of him holding the ball to his chest is a fucking penalty, but I'm not sure anyone is surprised that White/Wallace/Taulani is not a good back row. Losing Lamb and Colier so early on hurt us badly.

BT need to understand that Quins are not "so clinical" - Quins make a bucket load of chances but bomb a load too. Same again today, but didn't have the quality to back it up at the end. Add in some piss-weak tackling - David's a flapper, but I'm surprised by Green - and this peformance is exactly what Quins fans feared after the last month or so.

Would be nice to get some players back, mind. Looks very threadbare in the pack now.

Oh come on, it happens all the time. Just the same that they blow smoke up the arse of a team that have had a good winning run (like Quins were, or Tigers before them, or Exeter, or Sarries etc).

JM is embarrassed that his team lost to the worst team in Premiership history.

I know we’re having a desperate year but that’s a bold statement when there’s the likes of London Welsh in years gone by

During the warm-up they spent most of the time in the 22 with the coach saying "get used to this area boys, you're going to be spending a lot of time in here"

Bath are nowhere near that level of crapness

I actually thought Spencer looked very good last night, he was the real MoM. His kicking was exceptional, the hang time was ridiculous. Great accurate passing, he's so much better than Youngs.

Should he be in the England squad in your opinion?
