Leeds v Harlequins result

Early in the half Quins bagged themselves 7 points. 10-7. The score at that stage didn't reflect the way the game had gone at all. Just as I began to really wonder if Leeds had the strength to close in on the win they scored a brilliant try (and converted it) and had taken the lead back (14-10) The question was, could they know close the game down and come away with at least 4 very valuable points which meant Quins would then be bottom of the table and they would be feeling a little safer.

As the score was, Quins had a bonus point which gave them some extra hope should they lose against Sale and Worcester lose against Northampton (without a bonus pt) on Saturday. Finishing level on points with Worcester isn't an option though because of Worcester's eight wins against Quins' six. Snyman then scored Leeds' third try and put any chance of victory beyond Quins' reach. 21-10. and Quins desperately needing a score or two simply to resuscitate their bonus point. A score didn't come but the final whistle did and brought to an end a very dramatic tension filled game.

Sporting drama at it's best.
The look on Quins' coach Mark Evans' face in the latter stages of the game said it all.

Harlequins are now staring relegation in the face after tonight's crucial game.
