Pipped At The Post

Losing to a last ditch kick is never good but there were still plenty of positives to bring back from Newcastle's artficial pitch. It wasn't the best Quins performance of recent weeks - credit to the opposition - but there was an outstanding show from South African Tyrone Green who can be unstoppable at times. 

He ran in two spectacular tries in the second half rally which looked to have given us the momentum to win the game at 22-22.

But it was Falcons who came back up the pitch to take the game with a penalty in the final minute.

Callum Chick and Logovi'i Mulipola both  scored for the home team in the first half with Stephan Lewies geting one back to make it 14-7 at half time.

Speedster Adam Radwan got another for Falcons. That  was the cue for Tyrone Green to make his mark - he is lighting quick off the mark and then adds power as he heads for the line. He did it twice to set up that grandstand finish.

We are still in third place with Saints visiting on Sunday,
