Quins Go Top
Porter Try
By MG
November 13 2023
Early days but every other club in the Prem would settle for being top after five games. The 29-25 win at Tigers was a thriller with the result in doubt until Dino Lamb scored his second after Danny Care took a quick tap penalty.
The win puts Quins top on 19 points - one ahread of Sale Sharks.
It was nip and tuck throughout the game with Alex Dombrandt, Dino Lamb and Tyrone Green crossing for Quins to go into the break 17-15 up. Hanro Liebenberg and Freddie Steward crossing for Tigers whoe ended the day in second bottom place.
The ref played a big part in the second half - Ian Tempest knocking into Dombrandt at a line-out with Tigers seizing on the loose ball and Freddie Steward scrojng in the corner.
Quins came back wth Will Porter throwing a dummy to score from a ruck before Steward crossed again followed by another from Porter. Handre Pollard looked like he might have seized the win for Tigers with a penalty only for that man Care to spot the opportunity which Dino gratefully accepted.
Great stuff. Sarries at home next with a 5.30 kick off on Saturday.
