"We've played a lot better than that in recent weeks and we never executed the basics well.

"But the players expect a little bit better from themselves and that's good to see as a coach.

"We dropped a few balls that we could have held on to and we were punished. We gave Quins too much of the football and consequently they scored a lot of points. And when we had the ball in their territory we didn't use it well enough.

"But the guys never gave up - they moved the ball well and the late tries are a couple of ticks in their box - we never threw the towel in."
