Aviva Premiership 2016/17

Shocked but pleased with the win, especially as against Saracens! Can this level of performance be maintained though...

Gloucester really looking in trouble and I think the losses will start to get in their heads.

Another superb win from The London High Wycombe Coventry Wasps!!!!

We certainly did our best to lose that one, lost count how many try chances we butchered in the wasps 22

Quins were one of only 4 teams to beat Sarries last season as well. Maybe we can become a bit of a bogey team for them?

I think we're a bit of a bogey team to ourselves as well.

Worcester having a very strange start to the season. Losing away to the top 2 not a huge surprise.

But some very odd games where we are on top for a half, and then slide away

I must admit that Wasps did get a fair slice of luck with the Saint's handling - however that Cip's inspired try was gob-smacking

[schmalex]

It was a belting try. Most impressive was the scorer played to the whistle whilst others were claiming the obstruction.

Normal service resumed. I'm so glad Bristol got promoted.

Why?

Why?

Presumably because any other team at the moment looks like they could keep above Quins all season.

Bristol were the strongest team in the Championship by a very long way, even though they are off the pace in the Premiership at the moment. Any other team promoted would have made life even easier for the rest of the Prem.

Up, down, up, down up... So goes the Quins season!

I do think Adam Jones was hard done by not being given the Man of the Match... What an awesome performance on the wrong side of the scrum!

Good win for you guys, we seem to have lost our way somewhat I blame the pundits for giving us the kiss of death by saying we'd won the last seven meetings

I agree. He was magnificent and to play for 75 minutes was an achievement in itself let alone the way he played. Yarde looked good as did Swiel. Nev was not at his best is being polite. Robshaw was everywhere. He's getting to be a bit like Hilda used to be.

sarries for the win this afternoon?

I have a feeling the Pests will just prevail

[Kermit power]

Definitely an odd start to the season. In the space of three weeks, Quins beat Sarries, Wasps absolutely stuff Quins, then Sarries take Wasps to the cleaners!

[MEVILAZY]

Well the good news is that my prediction of losses against Sarries, Wasps, Saints and Stde Francais was nearly a complete 100% reversal.

The bad news is our current position and points versus the top four at this stage of the season still feels like our Premiership season is already over...

I agree. I had us down for four straight losses. Funny old world

Still early days yet. Bath haven't played either Sarries or Wasps yet, have they?
