Have been a fan of Monty Ioane for a few years, last season he
did Treviso wonders so if he’s playing we will need to be sharp!
Should make a great game

Wasps' loss to Connacht was similar in terms of points
difference to ours to Glasgow.

We have the worst “Points against” in the table which is a real
issue I hope we fix this season.

Thought it might be worth revisiting this thread following the
opening game of the season. In particular:
1) My comments (echoing concerns voiced by others) that there
was something deeply rotten within the culture of the club.
There seemed to be an apathy, lack of responsibility,
over-familiarity and tolerance of mediocrity.
2) Having read so many tip Quins for relegation this year,
including credible rugby people, in recent weeks.
What a difference a game makes. After a somewhat ropey
pre-season, I can only imagine what a weight that result and
performance must have taken off everyone at the club’s
shoulders. Much of the talk pre season seemed to focus on an
increased urgency, desire, and discipline and the training
footage shared by the club was positive in that regard. It was
brilliant for all for everything to come together so well on the
opening day. They grew in the game and responded so well to
going behind.
What a day. Massive congrats to Paul Gustard and the players.

Having started the thread exactly because of that “something
rotten” feeling - yesterday was a joy. Team playing for each
other and fighting hard.
Now we now from interviews they’ve really started from scratch -
ripped stuff off walls, thrashed everything out...
Seems to have worked - big test will come if they lose a couple
on the bounce - but if we play like Sat that may not happen for
a while.
So happy.

So many positives from Saturday and it’s a good first step. Just
need to see continual improvement, think we’ll face some tougher
opposition along the way for a start.
Was good to see the positivity and confidence grow.
I was concerned with the reaction from the players to the knock
on, that was reminiscent of last season, we reacted a second
slow and they raced in a try from 60m.
I also felt they looked a little nervy, as sale kept getting
back in the game In the first half.
The game does not change my opinion, the league is still going
to be a tough one, Bristol are competitive, and we know there is
not a lot to split most of the other teams.
Form and injuries will count
Let’s see how we go against an ill disciplined Saints who will
be smarting from their opening day fixture.
They looked pretty physical and robust so a different prospect
under the Friday night lights.
Great start though wasn’t it,
I reckon we’ll have few steps forwards and a few steps back to
deal with....

I wasn't at the game - but watched a recording of it last night.
I already new the result though.
One area that I wasn't impressed with was the number of
penalties that we gave away around the 50 minute mark. We
probably gave away 5 in fairly quick succession.
On a different day with a different ref, we could easily have
received a yellow card. Especially as we had also given away a
few penalties during the 1st half while in the danger zone.
The only positive from this is that we gave away no more
penalties after receiving a warning.

It was a choice between giving away pens or giving away tries.
The team had a cynical edge. We killed the play when needed and
then - as soon as we cleared our lines, we scored for a sucker
punch. It was a real momentum shifter.
yes - we could have had a yellow on another day, but I think the
team did just enough to vary offences and stop when the ref have
a "final warning".
