Now I caveat this by saying I would say this as a Skolars supporter. I think Skolars stand a good chance of surprising a rusty Quins side on the 22nd Jan.

The Skolars squad looks as good as they have had. Some good local recruits and overseas experience and talent. The most exciting thing is James massara the new coach. He seems a real talent and has had the lads training hard. Add In Joe Mbus influence I think there could be an upset.

Thoughts?

Skolars 6 v 62 Quins

16-42 to quins.... but hope iam wrong...

14 to 12 skolars

Me 16 - 12 Skolars, My son Scott-Moana 8 - 22 Skolars ( he is only 4 but top boy)

QUINS BY 30.... but more importantly, a good game, well supported and getting some of the saville row lot interested in league.....

Difficult one to judge with no prior form to go on.
If the pre match expectation of the new skolars lads is correct, then i should expect around 3 tries with say 2 converted. Regarding Quins being full timers and flying for first team places with more cash at stake, i haqve to expect 6-7 tries with say 5 converted.
So logic says : - Skolars 16 - Quins 40.

Closer i suppose may be seen as a bonus, but you dont get a top 4 place on 22nd Jan at the Honourable Artillery Company.

Looking forward to it.

Oh and forgot to mention......we dont want to tip "William Hill " off too early .....do we?

Quins 56-0.

What was the crowd? Looks an interesting venue!

650 or so.

Its a strange place.

Roped off field srounded by offices.

Any chance of some temp seating next year
