Great weekend of rugby
-
cracking weekend, Quins game was chefs kiss. Having been at the Toulouse game at the Stoop before Christmas, I can't see how Quins beat them if they front up like they did that day. That said, I thought Quins would get battered in Bordeaux so what do i know

Did you see the Exeter v Toulouse game? The Frenchies turned up in the second half and just blew Exeter away. Their continuity was brilliant. Quins will have a chance if the first half Toulouse turn up, not sure if the second half team turn up though. So good.

Gutted, Exeter weren't even in the game second half. T crazy dominant

getting towards the pointy end of the club season and its quite fun to watch at the moment. Quins vs Saints at the weekend was a lovely game, two young dynamic 10's pulling strings. Quins first try was a work of art. Probably means they'll get stuffed in Toulouse next weekend but hey ho.

More likely that tasering a drunk Brit Majorca is so common place that the police just fine you and send you home
