Are we talking about Gustard or Johan Ackermann!?!

Gustard clearly didn't cut the mustard.

Shame it's not on the pitch for us

worrying for Quins if it is player power that ousted Gustard - I know nothing of what he is like as a man or a coach, but when some of the "stars" get uppity because they dont like the way things are being run, it shouldn't mean they get their way, keep their pram toys safely onboard, and carry on as before. I expect, reading between the lines, PG was a very hard taskmaster who didn't fit in with the throw it about way Quins like to play. It could be that playing style that is their problem not their strict now ex-coach!

I'd love to agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong....

Really couldn't say KPB.
Like some others, I watched a rerun of the 2008 Glaws v Bath 8-6 thriller yesterday. The only 2 playing that day who still are were Banners, 21 at the time, and the Harlequins fullback. Am I close?
