As expected chain is only as strong as its weakest link and we have a few major weak links, what was learned? We still know these players are past it or not up to par and never will be and our backline moves against any type of decent defense are impotent and the constant 80 min scores for the opposition smack of unprofessionalism..Nothing learned from or subs only that we all knew it would make the team even weaker week in week out, again pointless..coaching team are extremely stale I for one wouldn't mind a clear out.

Agreed, and I'm very apprehensive saying this but if Lam can do something with Ah You maybe there is a place for his bulk in the pack, although almost certainly not at tighthead. Lam has his work cut out for him at this point imo.

And Harlequins have all day to touch down for a 5th try, followed by blind Neil and some tit in the TMO box awarding them a try for no reason.

We've been hammered. Much as I'd like to use the hopelessness of Patterson as an excuse we were just outclassed. Having said that I don't really rate Quins as serious HC contenders and we have made them look a lot better than they are today.

Lam's concentration needs to be on bolstering the physicality in the pack if we are to move forward, With Swifty coming towards the end and Mike McCarthy off the pack is going to be even more lightweight next season.

What about loughney at hooker.....doing ok...lol

Just as I was ready to praise Connacht for not switching off at the end of the first half this happens, good move by quins but too easy.

Lord above. Atrocious defensive play from Connacht. Just the start we didn't need. Bonus point looks on for Harlequins now.

16-3 at ht. Doing ok in general but our scrum is underpowered and its showing. Harlequins getting joy there and our buddy Patterson is only too happy to oblige them with some frankly ludicrous decisions.

Really its damaged limitation in the 2nd half. Quins are just going to keep it tight and wear us into the ground.

No good news from Italy either unfortunately. Biarritz 20-6 up at half time which rules out any hope we had of 2nd place.

Some day, one of us will come clean and admit we did something heinous to a much-beloeved member of Neil Paterson's family. It's the only explanation

Don't like to criticize referees, but this lad is a disaster.

Story of our season. Good break from TOH but no-one on his right shoulder and can't get the ball away to Griffin on the left.

6-3 Harlequins. McKeown off and Swifty in trouble. Scrum looks a bit underpowered now. Doing quite well so far though despite the contributions of Mr. Patterson. Harlequins look dangerous when they get the tempo up.

Good pressure from the restart. Jarvis kicks a nice pen. 3-3.

3-0 Harlequins after a dubious penalty from our northern friend.

It's absolutely killing me not being over there this year. Last year was the most epic 24hrs ever and that's not including the game haha.

I reckon Quins will cover the spread on this one handy enough, it was 18 points last I checked. I just can't see us doing anything near what good rugby we've played this year with Jarvis at 10 unfortunately. All the good rugby we do revolves around Parks. I think Johnny was rushed back. I'd have preferred Grace to start especially after his good showing the last game. George is a massive loss as always. Quin by 20 plus I'm afraid

We should have been playing carty and others for 10-15 mins at every opportunity and be looking to see how they perform on the big stage today, its a lack of foresight that annoys me, I think we all know jarvis will never be our 10 nor will nikora, although i clearly hope jarvis does great today. Loxtan is pretty far away from where we need to be aswell. Lam needs to recruit a couple of big names and throw a few of our best academy guys in at the deep end.

p.s sorry about the change of avatar diom only just noticed it, was trying to buy into the green theme

20 mins? I think that the first half will be pretty close, and after that they probably will pull away.
I got the preview up, but it was kinda rushed.
