Was a good result for Quinns, AWAY from home :)
Will be interesting to hear what was said by Paice to annoy the officials so much!
 
Irish are on a losing streak at the moment.
Four losses in a row: Sarries-Sale-Gloucester-Harlequins and suddenly their position near the summit of the table is being questioned after such an immense season.
Still think they'll finish in the top 4, but 'where?' is now the question.
 
i was at this game and it was a shocker.

Will Skinner outplayed Steffon Armitage, who, if you ask me, isn't a proper 7... his ball carrying is his best attribute and he was good in this sense once more.

I saw absolutely nothing from the Irish backline with the exception of Topsy Ojo.

Nick Evans looked very classy at times; otherwise the Quins backs did very little all game.

Quins absolutely destroyed the Irish scrum; that is until Corbisiero came on.
