Great game of rugby, Marcus Smith is just outstanding, he’s got it all, got to be England’s fly half for a long time.

Not sure he fits with the way Eddie is currently wanting England to play, that said he could change the system to suit him

Reflecting on the game you might just reflect that the game might have been said to have been lost by the inadequacy of two players who get picked by England - Hill and Williams.

Exeter front row done by Quins. Hill conceded penalties. I our darkest days that would have been an unbearable embarrassment.

Exeter are not the side they were and if we look through the flash I would argue Quins are not that great.

Bristol blew it.
My money is on Tigers next season with the uncertainty over Sarries who are on a different funding level.

Great game the Harlequins running game is stellar. They have so many players with serious pace posing threats all over the pitch making a, monkey of Chiefs. Strange I still remember them beating us in that 2012 final. Now if we had some gas 🙄

Although a sensational game of rugby I can’t get my head around how a team who came fourth, fourteen points behind the leaders are now champions, I think the champions should be the team who finish on top but that’s the rules so we have to go with them.

Agreed but it's all about making money and the current system is a cash cow for the clubs in the top 4 and Premiership Rugby

They brought the play offs in when we were so far out of sight that the season was as good as over by Xmas.

Great game and a great advert for the sport. Quins deserved that.
Top four next season is going to be very tight.

I know our forward prowess is to be admired, but it is great to see this more free flowing rugby and much less emphasis on kicking.
Well I think the commitment is there. Hopefully the rest will come forth next season, we saw more as the season neared the conclusion.

Fantastic final, best one since Hipkiss ran in the late try Vs Sarries. Loved how both teams went out looking for tries. Good advert for the game.

Incredible from Quims, Smith is just the best 10 anywhere, but this really makes me hope that Borthwick can put us in exactly the same position next year.
