@EmiratesSupport Hi there, I’m due to fly from Mauritius to Dubai on Saturday 7th March, and then onto London on March 11th. If I fill out the form to request a refund, would I be able to get the unused portions of my ticket refunded? Thanks!

@stephenbatt30 @Harlequins (Basically, we play whoever the third best 3rd placed team is, which is guaranteed to be the 3rd placed team in Pool 1)

[Sean Nevin @SNevin_]

@stephenbatt30 @Harlequins It's all done by seeding.

If Saracens lose without taking any points = Sale.
If Saracens claim a bonus point, then it's Sarries if they lose by six points or less. Sale if it's seven or more points
If Saracens get two points, it's Saracens
If Saracens win, then it's Toulouse

@willgkelleher The lack of a proper rugby structure is really killing us… Just because not having a head honcho worked in 2021, it doesn’t mean it’s going to work in 2025.

@pauldoe60 @Harlequins @DHLRugbyUK Lions players have a mandatory rest period (can train, but can't play) - won't be back until Sarries Week 3 I believe.

@harlequinspod That is Quins
Where’s this been?
Retribution for nil.

[Sean Nevin @SNevin_]

@jhgr81 @harlequinspod The Leinster game wasn’t counted in the suspension as he would have missed it anyway due to his concussion. So the ban counted for Sale and Leicester - returns for the Gloucester match.

[Sean Nevin @SNevin_]

@harlequinspod No good offensively.
No good defensively.
Season is done.
Complete reset needed.

[Sean Nevin @SNevin_]

@harlequinspod Absolutely brutal beatdown

[Sean Nevin @SNevin_]

@harlequinspod Gritted it out
Five VITAL points
Won it ugly

[Sean Nevin @SNevin_]

@Harlequins Ugly win, but sometimes it doesn’t matter how you do it. Huge five points!

@RugbyInsideLine They are certainly improved in attack - Tomos Williams has been a phenomenal signing for them in that regard - but they still can’t defend and they simply won’t compete up the table until they can.

[Sean Nevin @SNevin_]

@VinceBee1019 @Harlequins @DHLRugbyUK Yes, injured the the Benetton pre-season game by looks of things.

[Sean Nevin @SNevin_]

That was ASTONISHING!!! (And to anyone who calls for getting rid of best of five, let’s hear you now…)

"They're gonna boo me. I'm gonna go back at them and tell them to suck it!”

Spoke to @JoelEmbiid on a media call earlier. I asked him whether the boos from the French crowds gives him extra motivation for tomorrow’s gold medal match. He’s definitely relishing it! @NBCNews

@ViewFromTheQ In the queue for the first time! Arrived at 6:40am

Rob Page was a throughly decent man who loved the job, so it’s such a shame it had to end in such an ugly and bitter way. But ultimately, for us to progress and move forward, he had to go.

Zojuist hebben wij een 41-jarige Amerikaanse vrouw in vrijheid gesteld die we vanmiddag op Schiphol hebben aangehouden op verdenking van uitvoer van softdrugs. De verdachte heeft na overleg met het Openbaar Ministerie een geldboete gekregen en kan haar weg vervolgen.
