Helter Skelter Rugby

It was an entertaining way way to lose three points. Quins and Saints shared ten tries in a 36-33 win for the home side as Quins paid the price for defensive lapses which gave away two tries.  

The first came from a dreadful lineout which saw the ball sail over all the outstretched arms with Courtney Lawes quick to pounce with Lewis Ludlam going over.

Then right on half-time the ball squirted out from a 15 metre scrum  to go betwen Danny Care's legs.  England rival Alex Mitchell was very quick to kick on  to collect and dive over to make it 21-12 at the break - Jack Walker getting Quins' other first half score.

George Hammond reduced the arrears after oranges only for Saints to take their turn with Alex Coles going in under the posts. Will Evans then yook his opportunity for Quins as he spotted his chance from close range only for Sleightholme to get his second.

Quins kept at it with Nathan Jibulu forcing his way over to set-up a a potential grandstand finish with only three points in it.  However, Saints held out for the final minute.
