So am I imagining it or have we won 6 of the last 9 games,
drawing with Irish, losing only by 3 at the death to Falcons
because of a dodgy penalty call and by 1 to the European
Champions? Beginning to wonder if I slipped into a coma at Xmas
and I'm living in some sort of fever dream....or perhaps more a
nightmare because Quins have finally got it together for the
first time in 9 seasons and we can't even go and watch! #COYQ

Didn't watch the game live but watched it in full yesterday. As
others have said, it's frustrating that we allowed them back
into it and also a shame that we missed out on a few more
tries, but still a very good result and there was some really
nice play in there. Obviously better teams would punish us for
those lapses / missed opportunities, but I'd rather see that
ambition, even if it backfires occasionally, then playing a more
safety first approach.
Plenty to improve on but plenty to be pleased with really

I certainly feared the worst when Gloucester pulled it back to
24-24. The intensity was missing, we were overplaying things,
running down blind alleys and generally making a horlicks of the
game. But this time the panic didn't last long and we stuck to
task. Bringing an international front row on probably did no
harm either to calm the nerves and nor did Banahan being sent
off - rightly - thems the rules these days.
We have no reason to fear anyone in the league now. If we could
just shave a few minutes off the messing around phase of the
game for next week that'd be grand.

Oddly, I never felt that worried when we were back to 24-24,
just a sense of "you're going to have to start playing again".
And they did.
I agree with A222Quin, it's hugely reassuring to see that front
row trot on, especially Joe. I am frequently amused by how much
his presence on the field influences the opposition in
possession. Nobody wants to get tackled by him, and it changes
the way teams play against us. England's loss was very much our
gain.

There are a few teams that seem to bring on the starting team in
the second half at the moment - works if you have confidence in
the normal subs/game changers or whatever you wish to call them
(or you know you're playing a weak side)...
