       The lineout should normally have been taken back to the kicker's
       position, and I think the ref had that covered, but Quins
       mistakenly decided to take a quick one instead. So it was play
       on.

       Ah yes, that makes sense.
       On another point, I was surprised we opted for the kick at posts
       at the end. I thought a kick for the corner, followed by another
       14man driving maul would be better.

       Not much else to say about the season really. Should have walked
       into the top 4.

       Nah, I think it was on the edge of his range but the kick was
       correct. It was a long way out to put the kick on the 5m, and
       our lineout has been rubbish more than it's been decent this
       season.

       I have to agree I think taking the shot at goal was right with
       Lang on the pitch. Had Smith been on we would have gone for the
       corner and still had a lot of work to do.
       The middle 40 lost us the game.
       Still happy with 5th and Champions Cup rugby to look forward
       next season.  I’m inpatient to know where my weekend away will
       be.

       We lost the season due to our lineout... killed so many of our
       games!

       The lineout could be given as a reason, given individual
       situations which could have got us over the line, but really I
       think it was the mentality over the last 3rd of the season. How
       often did we give up a seemingly unassailable lead and then
       start playing and get within a score?

       I can't help but think that phoning up 12 of the squad and
       letting them know their contracts weren't being renew'd after
       Christmas had something to do with it. Not the be and end all
       but certainly can't have helped

       Happens to most squads every year. Caveat being that it hasn't
       really ever happened at quins in this era.

       Agreed and had'nt thought of that either. My point was more the
       manner of how it was done ie phone call
