Harlequins vs. Newcastle Falcons: Harlequins in the Top Three Standings on the Points Table

Harlequins are on a roll this season with 10 wins in 17 games, managing to secure the 3rd spot in the points table of the ongoing tournament. With Leicester and Saracens leading the points table, Harlequins have done considerably well to attain the third spot. Their presence at the 3rd spot might be subjected to a win against Newcastle Falcons. The upcoming fixture of Premiership Rugby would decide whether Harlequins would be able to make it 11 wins out of 18 or drop down the standings. At the 11th spot, it’s the Newcastle Falcons who have managed to win 5 out of 16 games played so far. Rugby is a very cruel game, where topsides miss a trick against oppositions and ultimately lose their reputation in the league. Newcastle would be looking to upset Harlequins and crash their winning momentum into fragments.

Harlequins would be looking out for Newcastle Falcons as they might be preparing to plan an upset and disbalance the position of Harlequins in the competition. In their last meeting, Harlequins defeated Newcastle Falcons (20-26), and in the same year, while playing at home, Harlequins recorded a (54-26) win against Newcastle Falcons.

5 years is a long journey as Newcastle Falcons still are waiting for the day when they can take down Harlequins in the Gallagher Premiership Rugby fixture. Newcastle hasn’t been able to produce any such reasonable performance in the past, which tells about their development or progress. In their last 4 games, they have been defeated by quite a fine margin. Their recent loss was recorded against Bath (25-30), Exeter Chiefs (14-15), Bristol Rugby (37-21), and Gloucester (22-32). Walking in the next game against Harlequins, Newcastle would be focusing on playing with the basics and winning with a fine margin. Though margin doesn’t matter at this point in the stage, a win is a win, be it against any team.
