I remember JK also saying that there weren't enough forwards for
there to be proper 8 men v 8 men scrummaging practice, and this
is often overlooked - for us to put out 8 good forwards on a
Saturday afternoon at 3pm, we need another 8 forwards available
for them to have practiced against during the week.

Quins have got 9 days off before they play Saracens at home who
would only have had 7 days off. How many points have you got
pencilled in for that?

I hope not. Both teams are on 6-day turnarounds and Newcastle
aside, all other teams in the league are very capable of turning
each other over on any given day. Should be a good game with the
two most watchable sides in the league (in my opinion).
This is going to be a real test of Gilmore's drilled defence.

I think this is where the link with L Scottish has helped. I am
pretty sure there have been LS players training with us (we also
have 3 forwards currently over here for the season from Honda
Heat) which will help both sides.

Not feeling terribly optimistic about tomorrow but hoping to be
pleasantly surprised. That entire back division is cracking
while ours is a bit mend and make do with some fantastic players
in there and some new combinations.

9 days is nearly 30% more though.
Relax. I just want to know in advance if the rest and
preparation time was as worthy of note when it was in favour of
Quins as it clearly is when it's not in their favour. I know you
like being wise after the event, so here's a chance to show
foresight instead.

Being wise after the event is preferable to making huge boastful
claims and then disappearing when you're immediately shown up,
spoofer.
9 days vs 7 days does not matter, because both are perfectly
fine amounts of recovery time in professional rugby terms, as
well you know. 3 matches in 12 days on the other hand is
suboptimal for recovery purposes, and just as importantly we'll
be playing against the best team in the country, hence the claim
that the coaches probably expected this would be a tough match
to win.
This is really simple logic but somehow you had to make it about
Saracens with a dumb statement, so here we are
