Not exactly Quins related directly, so apologises in advance if
this isn't a suitable post.
As someone who has been to Tigers vs. Barbarians, South Africa,
Maori All Blacks and Australia as well as Quins vs. Maori All
Blacks in recent years.
I'm a big fan of these sort of games, should happen more often
when the teams tour in the autumn. Would love to see Japan play
Quins at the Stoop personally.

We used to have a few of these in the past. I remember a
friendly against Somoa about 10-12 years ago?

Happy to be corrected but I don't think we put out our 1st XV
when we hosted Maori All Blacks. I recall it was more of an
invited/exhibition XV

It was basically an A-league team with a few guest players.
From memory, it was midweek between 2 league games and I don't
think that any of these players featured in the more important
league games.

Ibitoye, Henry Cheeseman, Jonas Mikalcius; Tim Swiel, Charlie
Mulchrone; Dan Murphy, Joe Gray, Adam Jones (c); Mark Reddish,

Replacements: Charlie Piper, Owen Evans, Matt Shields, Bill

With teams having a fallow weekend due to the 13 team
Premiership, would be a good opportunity for teams to play a
touring side.

I vaguely recall Quins playing an Auckland Bluse team at the
Stoop. It was a lot closer than expected. From memory, we had a
guets fly-half from Newbury, who acquitted himself pretty well.

Didn’t we used to have an annual game against the Natal Sharks?
