Harlequins: Green; David, Joseph, Esterhuizen, Murley; Smith, Porter; Marler, Walker, Collier, Launchbury, Lamb, Chisholm, Evans, Dombrandt (capt).

Replacements: Jibulu, Baxter, Lewis, Herbst, Cunningham-South, Care, Evans, Beard.

Toulouse: Kinghorn; Delibes, Barassi, Ahki, Lebel; Ramos, Dupont (capt); Baille, Mauvaka, Laulala, Arnold, Meafou, Cros, Jelonch, Roumat.

Replacements: Cramont, Neti, Ainu'u, Faasalele, Placines, Germain, Costes, Chocobares.

Game of the round for me.

Huge opportunity for the likes of Joseph, Smith, and Evans to back up last week in terms of England selection, and equally big for Murley and Dombrandt to attempt to change Steak Breadeater's mind on them. International quality opposition.

2 things, what happened to the red/yellow card as we had in the WC? And an article in today's Sunday Times by Stephen Jones banging on what a useless team quins are, smith is crap and how much we are going to miss faz.

Stephen Jones is an irrelevant c**t, what’s new?

Pre World Cup and even the starting few games, that would be a red. "Passive tackle" my arse!

Three first half tries is very satisfying so with another try a bp is the minimum to go home with.

When Toulouse turn it on they are pretty special.

Quins not at their best but it would have taken something pretty extraordinary to deny Toulouse. Some of their play was simply breathtakingly good.

Someone posted this which alongside the Ahki tackle makes you wonder what the TMO was watching!

Looks like Smith clips him fairly high and then Ramos reacts. Much ado about nothing, as amusing as it is to see the two flyhalfs have a bit of a dust up.

How'd Dombrandt go? He had a neat offload for a try in the tiny part of the match I saw.
