Exeter-Sale is going to have to be some game to match that one. What a game.

What a game!

Quins backs superb, Green, Lynagh and Marchant were phenomenal.

It’s an entertaining game and hard to see how Quins come back but as we know it’s a game of 2 halves.

Or 4 halves!!

Wow!!!

Damn. We’re in the motorhome and at half time as it looked over I agreed we’d moved on. Just got to Sennen Cove, Cornwall, and caught the last 2 mins of extra time :(

No coverage where we’re staying tonight so I’ll have to wait until tomorrow to watch it.

I wish Wasps could sign/unearth a Tyrone Green type. We could do with him at full back.

Looks a fantastic player, as does Lynagh.

Both really exciting, robust, yet electric players.

Wow what a game! I'm over the moon that Bristol Big Wallets have been beaten.

An absolutely cracking game for the neutral. If Chiefs/Sale is half as good and ST/UBB this evening to follow, it could be as good a day as we have seen for TV viewing.

Bristol must be gutted but credit to Quins - can’t see them coming close in the final, who ever they play but you never know.

Lynagh looks a very intelligent player, probably hasn’t got the out and out gas for the wing long term but picked some very good lines and a very good reader of the game and was strong in defence as a result.
Tyrone Green was very good

Very similar trajectory of seasons for Quins, as it was for Wasps last season.

Change in management led to a free-ing up in style and self belief.
Got a run on, never lost confidence and 'played' their way to the final (beating Bristol en route).

And then just ran out of steam in the final and lost to Exeter.

Ooops....that last bit has happened yet.


And then the 2021-2022 Quins season becomes very challenging because they pick up a few key injuries to over-played players and other teams have worked out how to counteract their style.

I wouldn’t normally cheer a Quins win. But when it comes to sticking it to a Billy Big Bucks outfit, exceptions have to be made.

Yep - is it just me or are Sale a most unpleasant side to play? And yet another randomly officiated game re the ruck Laws.....when the ref called a ruck properly, I nearly fell off the sofa!

In the pub with a couple of hairy supporters made for just as much entertainment as there was on the pitch!

I hate to say this, but rugby will be better for the two teams most likely to be cheating the cap in the Premiership NOT to be in the final.
