Declan Kidney’s side, composed largely of back-ups, led from the 11th minute when Fijian forward Albert Tuisue touched down and watched on as Noel Reid converted.<\/p>\n
Thereafter, a competitive game unfolded in near perfect conditions for Friday night rugby under the lights at Brentford. 7887 was a decent crowd for a competition where most sides rest their star players and the fans were vocal in letting the second string players know their efforts were appreciated.<\/p>\n
Quins hit back with venom. Matas Jurevicius, and George Hammond scored tries and the Twickenham outfit were 12-7 up, at least for three minutes before Hugh O’Sullivan kicked the game’s only penalty.<\/p>\n
Mike Willemse, Tom Parton, captain Matt Rogerson and Lucio Cinti scored further tries for the Exiles with the Argentinian’s try being the games last and best moment. The mulleted Scot Kyle Rowe produced the game’s most scintillating run and probably could have capped it by a headlong dive himself, but chose to offload to Cinti who was perhaps the only player on either side to match the Scot’s pace.<\/p>\n
