Try Walker, Quins…. BOOOM!
Harlequins 14 / 0 Racing (Halftime)
2nd Half ON!
Quins starting as strong as they finished the 1st half…
No commitment shown by Racing… something is seriously wrong at that Club… I can see some firings and hirings happening there shortly.
No chasing of kicks, no visible energy, weak in the scrums
Of course Mike Phillips is now at Racing.. on as sub now… Jamie Roberts also started the game for them in his 1st game there
Quins scrum penalty, hands in the scrum
Quins penalty after they mauled Racing some distance… shot at goal
Harlequins 17 / 0 Racing
Quins lock down prone, Matthews
Matthews leaves the field, very unsteady on his feet and bleeding from the nose
Quins with yet another scrum penalty, and they will relieve some pressure
Racing Free Kick, numbers in the lineout
Seems to me like the smaller club grounds have better surfaces than the big international grounds on the Euro & UK circuit… pitch not cutting up here much.
So, can’t blame the weather patterns… MUST blame the pitch management at the International grounds!
Racing penalty in front.. shot at goal.. over
Harlequins 17 / 3 Racing
18 Minutes to go in the match
Mike Phillips back off?
Phweeew… Quins pinning a very shitty Racing side right back every time
Quins scrum, about 8m out… here comes more kak for Racing, I think
Racing get a relieving penalty for sealing off
13 Minutes to go… the deficit is 14
Racing penalty this time at the scrum.. they have to kick to touch, because they need tries
Quins win a turnover scrum…
Quins Free Kick from the scrum….
Quins steal Racing ground ball… and there they go… into the 22…
Racing earns a ground ball penalty… ding-dong
Quins hold Racing maul up… it’s just too easy against these Frenchies today
7 Minutes to go… the fat lady is warming up
Racing penalty, just their own side of halfway, excllent line kick takes it 5m out
Racing penalty after some advantage played… 5m lineout it is
