A bit of googling suggests he's never had his 100m speed clocked. Anyway, he's clearly quick and good fun to watch.

Surprised that Steele isn't on the bench instead of Landajo.

Landajo would be a better player if he didn't spend half his time micro-managing players into position. He looks good when things are flowing nicely.

Steele hasn't had much game time for Quins recently and Landajo, arm-flapping and micro-managing aside, is possibly perceived to be more in touch with the squad than Steele.

Strange to have no specialist 10 cover. The result doesn't matter, but I'd hope that next week we see Lang on the bench.

Good team though. Great to see Chisholm back. Hope he can stay fit for the semi. Be good to get lewies back too.

It's slightly odd how young has disappeared from match day squads. I know he's leaving, but he's looked decent when he's played this season and is currently a better option than lamb, imo

I hoped we might take Smith off after 40-50 mins to protect him and give some more game time to Lang/Edwards. Agree about Young, he was going well then got dropped when it was announced he was leaving. Bit odd that. Hoping the Lewies injury is just a niggle, we will definitely need him for the play offs

Perhaps it is more important for Lamb and Tizard to get more 1st XV experience than play Young? I don't think it has hurt us - that's been poor defensive drills and practise...

Yeah I agree it's good for them to get game time, just felt Young was playing well and if I was picking my strongest team I'd put him in as third choice. Probably in the long term it's the right thing as Lamb and Tizzard are getting some big game experience

Think we're seeing the value of having Smith play 80 with some of the stuff he comes up with in the championship minutes of a game.

Had to drive through Twickenham this lunchtime. Awesome to see so many Quins shirts.

Hope everyone who has tickets has a great day

Heads up for people watching on BT sport. Bristol v Irish cancelled so it's bumped up a channel to BT extra 2

Think Lambert on commentary

It's BT Sport.  I think I've successfully had it work once ever.

Is it going to be one of those games. We'll let you score but score one more than you
