I think SF have only lost once at home in the history of the Heineken Cup. This will be some result for the 'Quins if they can hang on. Times like these, I regret my Sky boycott.

I see the Oirish are top of the table. Can they hold on? Not that it really matters with that farcical playoff system.

I was mate....


english rugby was the winner today...fantastic stuff.

Exiles having a cracking season and they are a superb unit. The pack is awesome this year ( as the Quinns found out a couple of weeks ago). If we are there at the end of the season, I will be amazed, however w are putting togethersome cracking results and performances this year

Your boys are putting on a great show at the moment, and its good to see but i'm not sure either Harlequins or LI have what it takes to still be there at the end of the season,but .......... we'll have fun trying eh !

Totally agree, it was a brilliant game. I watched three matches yesterday and enjoyed them all - I'm a bit rugby-ed out now!

I'm not a Harlequins fan either, but the great thing about European rugby is the something like Harlequins or Wasps against someone like Stade Francais is basically England v France. It's like European football used to be back in the 1970s and whereas I don't really care one way or the other how 'token Brit' teams like Arsenal or Chelsea get on in the Champions' League I always support English Rugby sides in Europe - unless they're playing Munster!

England manager Martin Johnson defends 'rubbish' autumn series to Paul Ackford: Rugby Union - Telegraph

I don't think Ackford is being very fair in that article. Really, who gives a shit that we're pony THREE YEARS before a World Cup? You have to build cyclically if you want success on the big stage.

As for the Stade/Quins match, it's worth pointing out that match was watched by a club record crowd of 75,000. If it hasn't already, club rugby union is now surely emerging as a decent alternative to top flight soccerball - and at half the price and without the aggro.

I'm off to the Stoop to watch Quins v Worcester on Jan 10th - my son and other boys at our club get 90 mins of coaching at Harlequins beforehand, and decent tickets for the game at the very reasonable price of £16 (£17 for me).
