Amazing Stat, Quins have missed 60% of their tackles – they’ve only had to make 5!!!!!
…and in cricket news Andrew Strauss has juts become the 10th highest run scorer for England, oh the joys of radio jumping between rugby and cricket
Leicester strike back through Fords penalty
Quins 8/3 Tigers
Penalty Quins, out in front
Evans slots it
Quins 11/3 Tigers
Leicester with a penalty out wide, but Ford pushes it to the right
Another penalty Leicester, this time a much better position in front of the posts.
Quins 11/6 Tigers 38 min
Some very big tackles going in at the moment. Mainly from Tuilagi
Great try Leicester from a line out mess up and Mafi over.
Quins 11/13 Tigers
Leicester playing some awesome rugby here. Much better than any of the drivel we’ve seen so far today
Yellow card for Waldron for cynical play. Leicester down to 14 men. Penalty kickable. Evans slots it
Quins 14/13 Tigers
Harlequins 14 – 13 Leicester
222@ Just For Kicks:
do you think it should have been a card? most radio commentators didnt think so BUT a few of them are ex Leicester plays
Quins 14/13 Tigers. Half Time
@ Bullscot:It certainly looked dubious to me to. There was no general warning given, so maybe ref saw something we didn’t. There was no replay either
England 123/1 v W Indies.
Kepler Wessels son Ricki currently 100 and something not out for Nottinghamshire
