Paul Ackford was amongst those to witness Harlequins' dramatic victory over Stade Francais at the Twickenham Stoop. Read his thoughts in the Sunday Telegraph.
"Not quite the razzmatazz of last week. No eagles, no frilly knickers from the Can Can girls and, by my reckoning, about 64,000 fewer spectators, but a sensational game nevertheless because Harlequins finally prevailed deep into injury time after taking the ball through 29 phases. The upshot is that Quins now have virtually booked their passage into the quarter-finals of this competition.
"It was a magnificent achievement to come off the ropes as they did. Nick Evans, Quins’ All Black outside half, landed the final, all-important drop goal. He’ll probably be given the freedom of Twickenham."
