With the side we’ve got out I would be very surprised if we got anything from the game.

[Rugbygramps]

Just got to get behind the lads and enjoy the night at the Stoop …keeping the faith as always and intend to make the most of our night down there

pity when we’ve got six weeks without a game that they take our players a week before the six nations

Totally agree with getting behind the lads. That they take our players, is of course another way of saying we are fortunate enough to have players good enough to be selected to play for their country

They are missing 5/6 starters as we are . They have the home advantage but bar that I think it’s a real 50/50 . Pollard turns up we should win

If our first XV is;

1. Cronin
2. Montoya
3. Cole - unavailable
4. Martin - unavailable
5. Chessum - unavailable
6. Liebenburg
7. Reffell - unavailable
8. Weise
9. JvP - unavailable
10. Pollard
11. OHC
12. Kata
13. Kelly
14. Watson - unavailable
15. Steward - unavailable

I make it 7 starters missing and then another at least three from the bench (Dolly, Heyes, Henderson). You could maybe argue over who should in the 23 shirt as well. So 10 of the 23.

They've got absentees at 1, 6/20, 8, 9, 10, 19 and 21 that I can see. So 7 across the 23. The backup 10 for Quins is probably the best back up 10 in the league as well. Add in that their scrum is good and we are down to the bare bones at tighthead and this could be a long day away from home.

Agree, it is the damage to the pack that is the issue, losing both tight heads, a whole second row and out best 7 is more of an issue than losing other players around the park especially as the pack is our main weapon at the moment. Then again, that 8,9 10 axis is massive for quins.

That’s a touch harsh. We still have quite a number of quality players included.

If Quins weren't missing both 9s then they'd probably be ok at half back with Porter and Evans. Very good back ups.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a reliable, virus free stream, please.

Those that I've tried over the past few weeks cause the alarms to be ringing on my pc!

[Ian Cant]

Well done to us all who got here: took me just under 4 hours but it’s rocking at The Stoop. Come on Tigers
