It was exacly the same as every game I can remeber against them. The bad weather always meant it was going to be an arm wrestle down the middle and Quins are the masters at it. We tried hard but a couple of mistakes ended up making all the difference. They played the perfect slowing down game in the second half and didn't give us a single penalty in the second 40. The sides were very well matched on the day and a couple of pieces of indiscipline unltimately cost us.
I was far more disappointed with last week than this.
So why try and take them on at it? We've consistently failed to beat them that way so it's about time we tried something different.
Our failings are blatantly obvious to even the passing observer, and have been for a while. The fact that nothing seems to be done to change these fundamental problems suggests to me that our playing and coaching staff are braindead. I've seen amateur sides with more tactical nous.
The sides were very well matched you say? From the 50th minute I couldn't see any way we were going to get back into the game. For a game to be pretty much settled so early indicates a bit of a gulf IMO.
