Before Quins fans say "what about 2021?" - that season didn't start until November because of Covid, so it's not comparing like with like

Well the stats guru @Stu_Farmer has come good again. Only 1 team HAS done it, Wasps; but they did it TWICE! 2002/03 - 6th after 12 rounds 2007/08 - 10th(!!) after 8 rounds - they then took 55pts from 14G to finish 2nd, and win the playoffs

I was only partially listening at the time - did I hear it right that @BrianODriscoll said on TNT today only 1 Premiership champion has NOT been in the Top 4 at Christmas?

Fair play to the Quins players most have only now gone into the sheds after pictures and autographs, which given how outplayed they were by the Bears is probably the last thing they wanted to be doing. It was the Bears who came to tea and ate all the food and drank all the beer

I don't know who writes Ellie Kildunne's scripts - but they are some author!! If there's a more Ellie try than that - I haven't seen it!!!

Feeling a wee bit lonely at the moment. I think a few friends will be joining me later!!

That sin bin period has hammered Gloucester

Tigers fans will be disappointed Nicky Smith is leaving, but there can be no doubt that he's going to put his all in for Leicester for the rest of this campaign based on tonight

That might be the worst start ever to a half for Gloucester. 45 seconds after the break Tigers have the TBP. That yellow and PT certainly is worthy of discussion though

Team news for Big Game at Twickenham tomorrow between @Harlequins and @BristolBears. Some rotation from both, but there's still plenty of talent. We've got some in the comms box too because @RockyClark_1 will be with me on @talkSPORT2. If you're not going, join us

You can always tell what kind of day it's been by who England send out to do the media at the close of play .... 3 days played - 3 assistant coaches wheeled out

And he has!!!!!

This is the ultimate backing from Ben Stokes, Carse needs to reward his captains faith.

286 on the face of it isn't much to write home about, but considering what it could have been at one point, I'll take it

I know you're gutted skipper, but seriously well played. We'd be right in the poop without you.

Very glad to be wrong!! 2nd is absolutely incredible for Ellie

Is it just me - this is supposed to be a celebration of the sporting year, yet everything is so downbeat and sombre. Cheer up everyone! The music montages should be happy and bouncy. It's like they're trying to build drama and tension.

Hmmm .. Wonder why they didn't include the handball against the Republic of Ireland!!??

I fear Ellie Kildunne and the Red Roses will both miss out here. The Roses were utterly dominant but there's a perception that they were supposed to win, because they're so much better than the rest. Ask Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls about that!

Slightly odd one this, the ref's for the 6 Nations have been announced. Only 1 ref has been given 2 matches, everyone else is 1 and done. What's odd is that both games Karl Dickson will do (for it is him), will both involve Ireland (R1 @ Fra, R4 v Wal) https://t.co/LNzGm5R58H
