Kick off delayedby 10 min- crowd congestion!

Edit: 15 min

Are the turnstyles closed or something?

Two fat fans have wedged themselves into the turnstyle. It's bedlam down there.

In all seriousness hats of to quins on what seems a very good crowd.

A good bit of hype, commendable effort on prematch and the fact that there are more Aussies working in London pubs than there are atoms in the universe.

Good on 'em. It'll be interesting to read the actual attendance.

Wells try from an Orr kick. Purduam misses conv. Cas academy to the fore

Purdham. 8-0

And his conv off the post.

Randall. 12-0 from the kick-off

Purdham 14-0

14-0 Chad Randall, Purdham converts. 15 minutes gone. Crowd looks like 6k at the very least

I think it's important to understand that Quins are playing 1st team for the first half and then all change for 2nd half.

I'm all for expansion, but we all know Manly shouldn't be playing Quins today, but should be up against a national league side just like last year.

It should be Harlequins vs Bradford today and we all know it. Let's hope this mistake isn't made again next year.

2 points is more important than a friendly.

Do we? That's a big assumption.

Luke Dorm under the posts from a scrum. Orr conv. Cas again. 20-0

My bad, statement amended below;

I'm all for expansion, but those with at least half a brain cell know Manly shouldn't be playing Quins today, but should be up against a national league side just like last year.

This can't be right. I'm sure I've been told many times that each Aussie side has a reserve grade side who would walk Super League.
