Match Report
In the first game of 2019 at the Twickenham Stoop, Harlequins welcomed Grenoble in round 5 of the European Rugby Challenge Cup.
The two teams last met in France in October where Harlequins came out second best against a team with home advantage.
Quins had the home advantage today, and entered the weekend top of the table in Pool 5.
At the start of the day, the group was a close contest with just two points splitting the four teams.
The visitors kicked off proceedings and stunned the Twickenham fans into silence, scoring a try within the opening 2 minutes. They failed to add the conversion (Captain Antonin Berruyer the try-scorer).
Marcus Smith kicked the re-start ball long and Grenoble’s clearance kick found touch just inside the half-way line. Quins secured line-out ball but then handed possession over to the French side in the form of a scrum.
Good pressure from the hosts and captain Danny Care doing as much as legally possible to disrupt the release, earned Harlequins a scrum of their own following a French knock-on.
As the referee Mike Adamson set the scrum, the fans in the stands started to chant and spur on the hosts. Another knock-on, however, once again reduced the voices to grumbles.
The French side fed the scrum and retrieved the ball, earning a penalty as Quins failed to roll away after tackling.
 The visitors found touch on the 22 and once the ball was back in play, Quins started putting in the thumping tackles. When Renaldo Bothma got his man to ground, Quins were able to turn over possession.
Captain Danny Care then gained the ball and ran half the pitch to touch down behind the try-line. Marcus Smith added the extra two points: Harlequins 7 – 5 Grenoble (11 minutes).
Grenoble were keen to get the game underway again and chased their re-start kick, putting pressure on the hosts. Harlequins secured the high-ball despite the pressure and Cadan Murley received the ball on the wing, planted a beautiful grubber kick which he chased and regained, before being tackled.
Such was the support runners for Harlequins, that the hosts secured position following a strong ruck.
They were awarded advantage but this was unnecessary as strong teamwork saw record-breaker Mike Brown cross the try-line on his 309th appearance for the club. Marcus Smith lined up the posts and added the conversion: Harlequins 14 – 5 Grenoble (15 minutes).
Now the fans started to chant with passion. Grenoble again chased the re-start ball but Quins gathered and started to break away on the far wing. Tackles were planted and the ball made it’s way to Smith. The fly-half opted to kick but this was blocked, handing possession back to the French.
Another strong tackle and another turnover saw possession returned to the hosts. Offloads to Care saw the scrum-half use his footballing skills to good use – a well-placed grubber kick and Cadan Murley gathered the ball, crossing for a try. Smith added the conversion. Harlequins 21 – 5 Grenoble (20 minutes).
Grenoble sent the re-start ball deep; Harlequins on this occasion choosing to send the ball into touch rather than attempt to run from deep.
The hosts were then penalised following the line-out and Grenoble kicked for another set-piece just outside the 22. They gathered the ball and formed a rolling maul. Referee signalled advantage as the maul collapsed. The French sent the ball from one wing to the other but without gaining ground.
Back for the advantage and Grenoble again kicked for touch. Cheers erupted as Quins rolled the maul into touch but the French had already secured the ball. They passed it out for their fall-back Gervais Cordin to cross for a try; Conversion added: Harlequins 21 – 12 Grenoble (25 minutes).
Harlequins chased their own re-start kick and retained possession after Grenoble knocked-on. Scrum on the 22.
After two collapsed scrums, Harlequins were awarded a penalty. The hosts opted to kick for a line-out despite an easy three-point opportunity. They secured the ball and formed a maul. A dive for the line was unsuccessful but the hosts retained possession, earning advantage. They again jumped for the line but no-try was awarded.
Play was taken back for the penalty (high tackle) and Quins again opted for the line-out. This time they formed a stronger maul that was too good for the French to defeat. Max Crumpton was the try-scorer. Smith once again adding the conversion: Harlequins 28 – 12 Grenoble (31 minutes). Bonus point secured for the hosts.
Quins gathered the re-start ball well; Care box-kicked out and Crumpton chased the ball to plant a strong tackle on the French fall-back. This slowed down the French attack and enabled Harlequins to set a defensive line near the half-way line. Grenoble then changed tactics and kicked through, finding touch on the 22.
The visitors maintained possession despite a strong challenge in the line-out from the hosts, and secured their third try (Gervais Cordin). Unconverted. Harlequins 28 – 17 Grenoble (36 minutes).

The hosts were then penalised for collapsing the scrum allowing Grenoble to kick for touch inside the 22.
The visitors retained possession and formed a maul. It was a slow start but the maul gained momentum. Just shy of the line and the Harlequins defence proved too strong. Penalty awarded to the hosts who kicked into touch at the stroke of 40-minutes.
Half Time at the Twickenham Stoop: Harlequins 28 – 17 Grenoble

Harlequins threw long in the line-out handing possession back to the visitors. Quins then stole back.
The first of the Game Changers then entered the battle as Luke Wallace replaced Renaldo Bothma for Harlequins (43 minutes).
Whilst making strides forward, the hosts made a sloppy pass. Grenoble were able to kick the ball on for a chase which Quins won but strong support from the French saw the hosts pushed back into their own 22. A penalty was then awarded to the visitors and they opened the scoring of the second half: Harlequins 28 – 20 Grenoble (46 minutes).
It was then the turn of the French to make changes, their first being the tight-head prop as Ali Oz replaced Beka Gigashvili.
Quins restarted with a kick they could chase but failed to win back, instead handing a penalty to the visitors. Grenoble’s kick for touch did not gain much ground as the ‘Harlequins’ chants sprung up around The Stoop – the fans realising they needed to be the 16th man in this hard-fought contest.

This was Kunatani’s last action of the game, replaced by Dave Ward.

A good follow-up chase from the Quartered Men kept Grenoble pinned in their own half.
The ‘Harlequins’ chants again resonated around The Stoop, followed by ‘boos’ as the ball found touch with the line-out being awarded to Grenoble.
The set-piece on half-way was secured by Grenoble. They passed the ball to the far wing and raced up to the Quins’ 22. The hosts were then penalised for not releasing a tackled player but the damage was limited as another sliced kick from Grenoble failed to gain them any ground.
Grenoble formed a rolling mall from the line-out and play raced up to the 5-metre line before they spilled the ball.
Quins took their time placing their clearance kick from behind their posts. Grenoble’s Bastien Guillemin gathered the high-ball well and passed to the centre. A superb tackle from Marler slowed their forward movement but Grenoble recycled the ball well. Another spit ball and Lang wasted no time in sending a grubber kick into Grenoble’s territory for a well-placed line-out.
 The visiting Alexandre Savonnet found his mark in the set-piece and Dave Ward was shown yellow for a high tackle. Quins would finish the game with 14 men.
Grenoble placed their penalty kick just shy of the 22 line. They gathered the ball and formed a maul but were penalised for obstruction.

At this point, Harlequins Captain Danny Care was ‘Game Changed’ by Charlie Mulchrone with just 4 minutes of the game remaining.
Harlequins attempted a long throw at the line-out but this was not gathered and instead trickled into the hands of the French. Another spill under tackle, however, handed a scrum back to the hosts.

It's thought Japan’s decision to resume commercial whaling will be under the spotlight at Twickenham Stadium this afternoon.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is meeting with Theresa May at the famous sports ground.
In December, Japan told the International Whaling Commission of its decision to defy the global ban on commercial whaling after 30 years.
The country’s fleet will resume operations in July, but it will confine hunts to Japanese territorial waters and the exclusive economic zone.
However, the move has prompted criticism from conservationists who say the whale population has not fully recovered from pre-ban days.
Japanese officials will be hoping the news doesn’t overshadow Prime Minister Abe’s visit.
He’s at Twickenham, the home of English Rugby, to promote this year’s World Cup, which Japan is hosting.

A 23 year old man has been jailed for 14 years after being found guilty of wounding with intent
Rudi Brooks from Thames Ditton was arrested in July after a man was found with stab wounds in Walton Road.
He was found not guilty of attempted murder but ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £170
Upon sentencing, the judge said “the violent, potentially lethal use of knives is all too prevalent amongst males of your age.”
In an extract from the victim’s impact statement, which was read in court, the victim said: “Since being discharged from hospital I have had to make several trips to various hospitals for different reasons. I still suffer with my stab injuries. The wounds have healed but there are large scars across my body that are a daily reminder of what happened to me.”
“What has had a major impact on my life is the fact that I have partially lost the sight in my right eye. I have been having treatment for this but at the moment the medical people do not know if they can save my eyesight.”
Detective Inspector Alison Green of North Surrey CID said: “The victim is incredibly lucky to be alive today. His heart stopped twice and if it wasn’t for the amazing work from the first responders then we could have been looking at a murder trial instead of attempted murder.
“This was not a random act of violence, it was a targeted attack by Brooks against the victim after they’d had an argument earlier that day. Brooks was ruthless and callous in his actions that night they will have a life-long impact on the victim and witnesses.
“I’d like to commend the victim for his bravery throughout the trial, having to relive this extremely traumatic incident was not easy. I hope the verdict and the work of the investigating team will help him start to move on and put this behind him.”
