Joe Marler ‘gracing’ the Premiership? Not really the image that comes to mind!

I just hope for NBC's sake that it's a decent game. Weather forecast at the moment isn't looking brilliant...

That would be 90% chance of heavy rain and 8c.

Mmm. Lovely.

Quins have had quite a few firsts in the last few years.
First live terrestial league match here. First 50,000 attendence for a regular league match, then first to get over 80,000.
First club to win the second tier European Cup 3 times and this year the first to have "the flash" on a sports team shirt (I think)!
There's more I'm sure but, that's just a few of the top of my head.

Not sure about that one. I think I'd rather have Leicester's record of never being poor enough to play in it.

I, on the other hand, would rather have been there for three cup finals than see us as cannon fodder forever struggling to get out of our pool.

All those cup finals were as close as close could be. The Narbonne game went into extra time at 26-26. In extra time it was 36-33, then Paul Burke kicked us out of trouble with a penalty and drop goal.

The Montferrand game we won by the skin of our teeth, try in the final moments by Keogh and still needing Andy Dunne (replacing Paul Burke) to slot the conversion and a final score 27-26.

Then the game in Cardiff against Stade, again victory by a single point. Gonzalo Comacho scoring way out by the touchline to get us to 17-18 but up stepped Nick Evans to give us 19-18! Then a trip home involving a shut bridge, a tour of Wales and SW England and the door on our coach having to be kept on with gaffer tape!

Didn't say it was good or bad but, we were the first!

So, presumably, your "favourite ever season" was our one in the Championship? :)

And the record for actual bums on seats for a league game. Salarycens may have the official record for tickets sold / given away / re-allocated but with swathes of Wembley empty, actual attendance at HQ was higher

Wonder how this went down in the US? Did they have their own commentary or take the BT Sport feed? Would have thought it showed very well.

I imagine that some viewers would have given up after the Bothma penalty, not fancying a game of arcane and pedantic rules.
