I think if we can get points early and try to eradicate the 14
point gap before letting them in. Get it back to nil-nil then
I'd back us in a straight shoot out over 60 minutes.
Sorry but Care is still a liability for me. Too many nallsed up
grabbers and trying to go from rucks when he's got 2 big blokes
in front of him. When he did have the break, he seemed to freeze
when he needed to have a calm sense of what to do.

He had been in training expecting to be back for Big Game before
the hamstring went so I would expect him to have been Euro
registered.

It just didn’t go well did it? I can understand how their
defence left us making bad choices which really is a development
point especially for Smith. The one thing I can’t get my head
round is what Marler was doing so far forward to be hit by Cares
kick, from what I recall he was so far forward and was behind
their defensive line, he actually became an effective part of
it. If he wasn’t there the kick through was a good option to
stop the blitz defence.
2nd half we played much better and won.
Q1 26 - 0, Q2 14 - 26, Q3 & Q4 still to play. All to play for if
anyone can Quins can, the home crowd need to bring the noise for
the full 80 not hostile just loud and supportive of our team.

Not sure how much noise there will be as last time I looked it
appeared there may only be around 7000 or so watching it.

I have checked the ERC site and it looks as though he is.
We also had the option of adding a few players:
In advance of the resumption of the 2021/22 Heineken
Champions Cup on the weekend of 8/9/10 April, clubs which have
qualified for
the knockout stage have registered their updated squads.
Each club is permitted to add up to three players, one of
whom must be a front player, and subject to relevant union
approval, the
following have been nominated to supplement each club’s
tournament squad:
HARLEQUINS
Rhys Litterick (prop), Nathan Jibulu (hooker)

How many do you think we’ll have at The Stoop cheering us on ?
Heard that ticket sales are slow. Shame. Just when we need a
rocking full house.
On a tactical note, Montpellier were very adept at winning
penalties by trapping our tackler, so they couldn’t roll away.

There were less at Bristol and Irish so I’d hope there should be
plenty of noise.

Montpelier's back row had a very good game on the ground and
defensively - our trio should learn something from them - I saw
a few cases of our chap being caught up, but Montpelier were
faster to the breakdown, cleared out better and disrupted our
breakdown ops; Hammond and Jurevicius have heaps to learn about
effective, top class back row play.
Hopefully, the comeback will help sell some seats - but its
Easter, so families may be split on whether to go. Weather looks
good: 16-18C sunny with increasing cloud but no rain presently
forecast.

I shall be there on Saturday. Sadly I won't be sitting with the
BT Sport pundits though which is rather frustrating.
