Marcus turned 20 yesterday and has already played 47 games for
Quins... time to put a tenner on Browny's club record being
broken? (And another one on Marler getting there first!)

Everyone is very optimistic about tomorrow. Fair enough. But it
was only a few weeks ago we played Wus away and in my view
played a rather dim sort of game and lost. We had loads of
possession and chose to run into an utterly committed brick wall
of a defence all game. No variety, no grubber kicks to turn the
defence and put them under pressure. I got the impression that
was a watershed moment for our coaches. When we went on to beat
Exeter at home there was so much more variation to our attack,
with Danny and Browny kicking balls in behind the defence.
I recall last year sitting in the stands and people moaning when
we kicked away possession. There is nothing wrong with kicking
away possession as long as it is done intelligently, when we are
on the front foot and with a good kick chase. I'm a big fan of
it! And of course since then England have shown us how it should
be done. I think Wus will know we will not be a one-trick pony
tomorrow. The question is how well they deal with it.

Yeah not sure all those things are actually logically connected.
Gustard has been trying to get us to play a certain way, and it
now appears to have clicked. Even when we aren’t doing so well
you can see the method.
It clicked fully against Chiefs and has stuck,
Last season’s kicking was nothing like this season. We were in
total crisis and abysmal. Smith’s kicking out of hand was
dreadful as was Care’s box kicking. We didn’t pursue any kicks
and routinely kicked to no-man’s land,
That’s no longer true.
And finally on the England thing - can’t see it catching on at
club level. Week in week out it’s just not sustainable as a
tactic compared to a few tests with highly specifc prep.

That's a he'll of a good team from Quins. Very excited about
tomorrow and very optimistic. Wuss are no mugs but I expect us
to beat them at home.

You predicted Wallace was behind Clifford, Robshaw, Dombrandt
and Chisholm? I'll be honest, I've seen bolder predictions.

Agreed. Still baffles me why Saunders hasn’t been given much
Premiership opportunity this season, this would have been the
perfect opportunity for both game time and game development all
the while giving Saunders more confidence. I know he’s still
young but he’s electric and would be a much better impact bench
player than Lewis or Mulchrone IMO. Let’s hope he gets his
chance soon

Looking good so far with 3 converted tries inside 20 minutes! 80
or so minute game though! What a spot and pick up by Brown for
the 3rd try!
