The Quins game is very entertaining and a complete free for all. The ref really does not care at all.

Watching the Quins game it strikes that the big difference between Smith and say Pollard, is that he seems to avoid contact at all costs either running back wards or shipping the ball to the nearest player. Teams seem to be learning that a swarm defence is the way to play him

Quins can’t win this now. Realistically all they have to play for now is to make sure they qualify for the Champions Cup next season.

I would say it’s the most likely of the matches to be the Good Friday fixture. Doyle just wants to be back in Dublin over Easter

La Rochelle hammering away at the Gloucester line, and they work the overlap to regain the lead with a minute to go!

Bougar it indeed. Posh Richard downcast. But it was a brave show.

Playing essentially the Grand Slam champions in their own back yard. Wonderful. I guess it will be played at Landsdown Road?... Aviva or whatever it is called nowadays! I was there in 2005 when we best them well, or at least, how I remember it!
