Premiership Rugby 21/22 - Rd 17

[BPM]

I was also thinking that i reckon Marler returning to Quins is based off some compassion for him as he's always said he wants to go and see his family. Eddie may have a soft touch.

Apparently he agreed something like this with Eddie. I'm half expecting him to play this weekend. We definitely need him!

England Internationals are protected under an agreement with the Prem aren't they? Whereas other international players aren't?

But they weren't even in the squad so haven't played for England which annoys me .... they need game time, not to be holed up...

Fair point

30MPH winds in Worcester tomorrow, lukily its not 65MPH winds like at midday!

Chessum jr might be getting a gig against Bath, interestingly

Apparently Marler asked to go cause Quins were struggling

Narrator: It was not interesting

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Considering the injuries and absences we've got atm, no arguments from me
Don't like the balance of the backrow but we're down 3 opensides and both hookers who could do a job, so not much choice

And just like that, Wasps make a big statement.. we lose Barbeary and Launchbury but back come the Willis Bros...

strong team again for Quins. Could be a good match this looking at the line ups, Mills will hopefully help manage Esterhuizen a little bit better.

 

[Goodey]

Quins-Wasps definitely the match of the round given Wasps' random giantkilling form

We've lost 3 on the bounce, not exactly giants atm

Handicaps

Bristol by 7
Leicester by 11
Quins by 1
Saracens by 5
Sale by 4
Exeter by 5

Hard to pick any value out of that but I'm tempted by Worcester +7. They will probably fancy their chances at home against a misfiring Bristol right now and might be targeting this game. They should get a point if not the win.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Honestly bath to win by 10

But Quins at home always dangerous. Will be a good game whatever happens.

As a Quins fan, I'd rather Jack Willis had waited another week, but genuinely delighted to see him back. Probably my favourite player.

Haha i think a lot of people will say that. He's a quality operator and a leader for our club as a person and player.
His video on his injury has been very interesting to watch.

Looking forward to Tom and Jack being on the pitch together but also really think he will be the next Dallaglio for us and lead by example.

Who was that Bristol player in front of Van der Merwe? Just completely gave up even before he was passed.

Think it was Lloyd - was a poor effort whoever it was
