       Robshaw was then kicked in the head as the guy he tackled was
       trying to get free. The ref didn't seem too bothered. Not sure
       if he even looked; the replays were just for the TV.

       That's what I thought. The bang on the hip didn't seem damaging.
       As for the kick, was it a lash out kind of kick, like when
       players are held on to? If do, I've seen red cards given for
       that, such as when Itoje did it to a Wasps player.

       Article on why Quins appeared to select an overly strong side
       last Friday......too many injuries and unable to play more than
       2 "non-Europeans" apparently...

       He wasn't kicked in the head. He was pushed off with a boot on
       the shoulder.

       It wasn't a full screen presentation. It was only shown in the
       bottom right hand corner of the screen. The commentators
       referred to it too, I think.  Although, as I said, the ref
       didn't look at it or seem that bothered by it.  But it did look
       to me like he was caught in the head. Maybe it was the impact of
       the tackle that led to the HIA rather than the boot to the head.
       In any case, I hope he is okay for the Sarries game. I am sure
       he will be given a rest next Saturday, with Kuanatani joining
       Chisholm and Dombrandt in the back row.

       Should have been a penalty then.

       Nope, it was shown in full screen later on. The commentators,
       who had up to that point been claiming it was a boot to the
       head, then admitted it was nothing.
       And it really was nothing. Pushing someone away in a
       non-dangerous manner on their shoulder with your foot when
       they're holding on to you is not a penalty. Robshaw banged his
       head in the tackle, that's all.

       He missed 6 tackles. That does not equal a great game. He
       carried alright, he's always willing but didn't have his usual
       impact there (imo because of body height, he was too upright
       most of the time and got knockled back). He made 18m from 8
       carries - Semi made 53 from 5, Dombrandt 85 from 11.
       Don't disagree that he's ahead of them in the nuts and bolts
       stuff, mostly his cleanout work, but he was some way off having
       a great game and both the others had a much bigger impact on us
       winning that match.

       Quite. Chis was OK but we've seen him play far, far better.

       According to Gustard in the rugby paper "we he had 27 to choose
       from and we now look set to lose Crumpton so we are really short
       of hookers. we will only have two or three players back for
       Clermont next week . it is a real challenge in adversity and can
       make or break you ".
