I got a few thank you messages after the game on Sunday. It is brilliant because I though they (Connacht) had a great season in the Heineken this year, I know a fantastic win against Harlequins on the last day. It is brilliant that they are in it again and brilliant that they are in it again. I’m deligh...

There is plenty to play for on Saturday. We'll have a youthful team to try and combat the way that Harlequins play. There should be a large crowd to see us say farewell to Edgeley Park and we are all looking forward to it

While it is encouraging to receive such a positive review from the RFU and Premiership Rugby, our Academy must continue to identify and bring through the next generation of talented players for Harlequins and England. 16 of the club's current professional squad are graduates of our Academy which speaks ...
Its just a good win really but I've not really bothered looking at the table ... Last year they nearly put 70 points on us here but we're on the up and if we do qualify for the Heineken Cup against Harlequins it will be a great result for the club.
Harlequins have proved themselves over the course of a long season - they won at Welford Road, they beat Toulouse in Europe and they beat Saracens at Wembley just a few weeks ago, so they are still going well. We've been playing well too, we've got ourselves into a good position now and we are still goi...
I am very excited about being part of this Harlequins squad going forward
I am excited about linking up with Harlequins in July. Playing in the Aviva Premiership and Heineken Cup will be a new challenge and I expect that I will have some adjustments to make to my playing style.
In February I was convinced that Harlequins and Saracens had done enough to secure a home semi. I am now not quite as emphatic in my belief.
Playing in the Aviva Premiership and Heineken Cup will be a new challenge and I expect that I will have some adjustments to make to my playing style. I've watched Harlequins play over recent seasons and it is a team and style of rugby that I'm looking forward to being part of.
We have to come out of the blocks well this weekend because if Harlequins get their noses in front, there will be no coming back.
I would be lying if I said that what has happened isn't in the back of people's minds, but we have to control what we can control and let the off-field stuff take care of itself ... After a very difficult week, I think Harlequins is the ideal game for us to play.
Of course guys have one eye on other results but our focus is to simply get enough points out of our next two games against Harlequins and Bath to ensure that the last game of the season isn't that pressure game where the winner takes all.
I'm very excited about joining Harlequins and working with Conor O'Shea, John Kingston and the coaching team and players. The team plays an attractive style of rugby that suits me and that combined with the club's current position at the top of the Aviva Premiership, makes this move an exciting opportun...
Harlequins are fully aware of all the facts and will continue to support Danny as he addresses this situation.
Danny Care was asked to report to West Yorkshire Police in Leeds to answer further questions about the incident that took place in the city on 4 March. On 15 March Danny attended Leeds police station voluntarily by appointment. He denies the allegations made against him. Harlequins are fully aware of al...
Red Rock, Harlequins and Jittu were the ones not from Raiwai and Red Rock beat Harlequins 12-0 in the final on Saturday
On the night Harlequins got relegated, chief executive, Mark Evans, rang me to ask if I was still interested ... I said of course I was. I had signed a contract and always intended to honour that. It is the same at Newcastle. The whole relegation thing at Quins didn’t faze me too much. It was a great op...
Everyone at Harlequins wishes Chris all the very best for a full recovery.
We didn't want so much of that; we were afraid it would overwhelm the collection ... We do get some romance things, like Nora Roberts, but we didn't want it to be all Harlequins and silhouettes.
We've a history over the last few years in the Amlin, we know each other quite well. Harlequins are a good outfit and it'll be one hell of a game.
My mum said it was a lot of work but she was in touch with my brother, two schoolteachers and Andre Vos [the South African former Harlequins back-rower] who was my first mentor at the club. The plaque is in my room, I will read it the night before I play.
What Conor O'Shea has built at Harlequins is incredible considering his side came back from relegation just a few years ago. I can only imagine what a fantastic environment it must be down at Harlequins.

Harlequins and Ulster: That's not to say that there isn't an extra buzz surrounding the Heineken Cup -- our first Heineken Cup match against Harlequins will be massive and there will be a massive buzz around the province when Toulouse come to town -- but Cardiff at home this weekend is a huge fixture, as is Ulster away the following weekend, and that is the way we have to approach every game.
Harlequins and Australia: ON form and out of trouble, Danny Care would be a live contender for next summer's Lions tour to Australia, but controversy continues to dog the England and Harlequins scrum-half and, even more than a year out, he looks too much of a risk.
