George Skivington is getting ever more frustrated as Gloucs once again handed the initiative to the opposition going down 21-12 at The Stoop in a game where all the points were scored in the first half.
He told the media: "We've got to start not disrespecting the first 10 minutes of a Premiership game. We had lots of pressure but we got sucked into a chaos of loads of off-loads, and the stuff that Quins do really well.
"We butchered a lot of opportunities that first 10 minutes. We've got to work out why we give people the lead and try to fight our way back in."
The result was the Cherry and Whites' third defeat in a row after such a promising start to the season.
Despite that opening flurry Danny Care and Dino Lamb put Harlequins 14-0 ahead inside the first quarter but when Gloucs did out phases togerther Ben Morgan and Santiago Soccino took the sore to 14-12.
Howver, Care got his second to make it 21-12 at the break.
And that's the way it stayed.
