Despite a brave effort Harlequins failed in their attempt to get to the knockout stages of the Heineken Cup as, despite a ten point lead at half time, the luck that is an inevitable concomitant of victory turned against them.  That, combined with the power and physicality of the French league leaders, brought defeat by 13 – 16....

Franklin’s Gardens on a wet night and with a wind that cut like a knife, is an inhospitable place for visiting sides.  It is not all that welcoming to those who ply their trade there. ...

With a scintillating display of running rugby and with a fine exhibition of their devastating off-loading game combined with excellent defence, Harlequins took control of Big Game 6 against Exeter at headquarters with three tries before half-time.  They ultimately won 22 – 6 and were clearly disappointed to have failed to get a try bonus point, despite a number of good chances....

There was an aura of disappointment about Harlequins and their supporters at the Recreation Ground where the home side prevailed by 14 points to 3 in a dour, physical contest illuminated by a single, solo try of undoubted brilliance from Bath centre Joseph....

There have been some famous victories by Harlequins over French clubs in the Heineken Cup.  There was the stunning victory in the Stade de France over the favoured Stade Francais emphasised the following week by the fabled 29 phases that ended with Nick Evans’ drop goal to clinch the victory. One recalls the disbelief in the French crowd that followed the defeat of the galacticos of Toulouse....

Victories at Kingston Park for Quins have been almost as rare as those at Welford Road.  There was, however, no doubting the determination and intent of Harlequins as they inflicted a four try drubbing of the Falcons, the score of 9 – 35 accurately reflecting the gap in class, skill and ability of the two sides....

Harlequins celebrated the Stoop's 50th anniversary with a victory, but may come to rue a second half loss of composure that cost them a bonus point. Gloucester meanwhile showed how dangerous their back division can be while making clear the flaws that have left them languishing near the foot of the table. ...

Much like quality English batting in antipodean climates, home wins have been in short supply in all competitions this season. The Stoop less a fortress more like a field hospital, with barely adequate defences. This must all come to an end, there is only one competition we remain realistically competitive in and it’s not too late to claw back a position. The Aviva Premiership has rapidly become...

A virtually full strength Sale premiership side overcame Harlequins’ youngsters 26 – 31 despite a valiant effort on the part of what was effectively the A team. This second defeat almost certainly ended any chance that Harlequins could repeat last year’s winning of the LV= Cup...

Visits to the south-west distant reaches of the rugby world have rarely proved successful for Harlequins. Ever since Exeter was the only team to defeat Quins in their season while relegated, matches against the Chiefs have been a banana skin waiting to be trodden upon. Once again Harlequins duly trod on it. This week’s visit for the first match of this season’s Anglo-Welsh Cup was no different...

Victories over Leicester Tigers are not so rare as once they were. Nevertheless they are to be savoured and cherished and never more so than when they take place at Welford Road. For the second successive year Harlequins returned home victorious over Tigers by 16 points to 23.  They did so after a performance of determination, courage, excellent attack and superb defence....

Just like Gloria Gaynor, I’m back, and yes I’ve got a sad look upon my face. It’s not been an easy few weeks either personally or for our beloved Quins, however am here to resume normal service on the Premiership Previews and humbly apologise for my absence. ...

Harlequins started their Heineken Cup campaign with yet another lost home match as Scarlets held on to win by 26 – 33, a result that leaves Quins with a mountain to climb in the competition.  It was a result too that left Conor O’Shea disappointed and angry at the team’s performance and he was not slow to voice his views....

Harlequins contrived to lose an eminently winnable encounter with London Irish at the Madejski Stadium by 18 – 13. They did so with a lack of accuracy and a plethora of unforced errors that left their supporters and coaches concerned and disappointed....
