Great game the size of the crowd was disappointing and totally devoid of atmosphere at times

If you’re not a season ticket holder why buy a ticket to a 2nd tier Europe game against poor opposition?

And there were no trains to Twickenham so if you are - why fight your way in?

9k crowd - seemed pretty good to me - and good atmosphere until we were 5 tries up at which point it went a little quiet coz it wasn’t a contest.

I didn’t renew my ST but I would have gone today but for the trains making it a nightmare.

Was excited to see the team and we got a great result

Next week against Grenoble I’d suggest something like:

Chisholm (rest Browny)
Ibitoye
Saili
Taps
Visser (maybe Earl but he’s played every match so far)
Catrakalis
Mulchrone
Dombrandt
Chisholm
Luamanu
Horwill (c.)
Merrick
Collier
Elia
Boyce (rest Marler)

Auterac, Crumpton, Ibuanopke (if fit), South, Clifford fit and Kunatani if not, Saunders, Lang, Walker

Everyone’s a Quinner

Benetton aren’t to be underestimated. They have some bite in the backs and when it’s their day they are a big big threat. I have been a fan of and have been following Monte Ioane for some time now, cousin to the better known Digby Ioane. He seems to be making a name for himself at Benetton, and his try’s per game stats are outstanding. Should be a good but feisty game

I thought the atmosphere was good. Turnout a bit disappointing but if we continue on the path we're on I think we'll start to attract people to the non premiership games.

Glad I went, It took me 3 1/2 hrs to get there and another 4 to get home thanks to the disruption on Southern rail and the Twickenham trains. I could have gone to watch USAP vs Sale in about that journey time! (Glad I didn't though as USAP lost.. again!)
There wasn't a great atmosphere I agree, but it was entertaining rugby, It was warm, and Quins won!
What's not to like?

I had a great time! Sunshine, great company, decent grub, acceptable beer, champagne rugby and a nominated Butler Driver. Happy Days!

I wasn’t able to be there and it seems there’s no tv coverage so any information from those who saw the match on how Merrick, Kunatani and Ibitoye went would be appreciated. Similarly Dombrandt, Catrakilis and Saili off the bench.

I’d have a word with the staff, sounds like they need to enforce the rules.

Merrick very lively and was probably in contention for MOTM along with Mulchrone and Chisholm. Kunatani looked okay. Ibitoye was often in support looking for the pass but he seemed to me to either over-run the man with the ball or get too flat. He didn't get many chances to run in open space. Dombrandt and Cat didn't get enough time really to make an impression. Saili was okay but I don't think he's too keen on passing.

I thought it was quite a sketchy performance from the team with far too many errors. Great win but meh performance.
