I mention coaching because it’s not just that our throw-ins are bad, but because our lineout disruption is possibly worse. Numbers aren't everything but....
Attack: Over the past 5 Prem games, Quins achieved 100% lineout success once, against Bristol. Over all 5 games they achieved 46 catches from 58 throws – 79%.
Defence: In 4 of the past 5 Prem’ games, the opposition achieved 100% lineout success. Over all 5 games they achieved 59 catches from 61 throws – 97%.
So, not only do the opposition know they can challenge our lineout, they can be confident that we haven’t been coached to steal theirs.
The pressure on our hooker 'doubles' because the opposition hooker always looks good!
