'Tackling's a tough one to call, I don't like the game to go
soft'

Key detail for me:
“Yeah, there is always going to be a bit of rumours around
rugby, especially transfer news and stuff. But I am staying put
until 2025, signed, very happy here at Harlequins."

And when you consider one of his red cards was nothing to do
with a tackle, there really are no complaints about his
technique. I'm struggling to remember the other one but think it
was the Enya game that season?
Good, hard player and just what we need to enhance our game.
He's been truly magnificent for us and English club rugby. If
only we could build an English Andre

Quins’ site has them listed as:
Lennox - 180cm 101kg
Hayden - 191cm 97kg
Andre - 193cm 113kg
In old money, that’s 4” taller than Lennox and 2 stone heavier.
Hayden would need to put on 2.5 stone (and grow an inch).
Not impossible and it’s not all about size but as it stands,
Andre is different gravy.

Neither of his reds were for high tackles. He got one away to
Gloucester, and one away to London Irish.

IIRC correctly the Gloucester one was a cheap shot elbow on the
ground, the LI one was a scuffle in the in goal area where
alleged hit to head occurred- looked debateable. BTW I think
both were at home, certainly the LI one. But

That was it, the elbow on the ground at Glaws, cheers Sussex.
Then followed up with a forearm hair brush at Irish.
So proof that a big lad can tackle correctly and be dominant in
said tackle.
Lennox is making a good start but needs to add intelligence to
his game, not just bulk and pace. I'm sure it'll come. I saw a
lot of Hayden at schoolboy level and he is a decent prospect and
I look forward to him making the first XV more in future.
Andre though is a player every other club would love to have and
their fans are happy to admit it, even Sarries....

It's a sha,me that Marchant is off, he and Andre are probably
the best centre pairing in the premiership.

Agree on Marchant I think we will miss him more than we can ever
imagine once he has gone as he really does at times play some
superb moves.
