What makes Harlequins one of the most exciting Premiership Rugby teams?

Despite missing out on the play-offs on the final day of the season, Harlequins have proven to be one of the Premiership’s most entertaining teams.

With players like Marcus Smith, Tyrone Green and Danny Care in the side, this is hardly a surprise, but it goes beyond individual talent.

Statistically speaking, Harlequins have made the most turnovers, the third most carries and beaten the third most defenders in the league.

Harlequins Podcast co-founder Michael Wood explained: “Turnovers give you a platform for unstructured attack, because the opposition is set up to take the ball on the front foot, which means there’s often space in behind or in the channels.

“You can’t give some of the players we’ve got that sort of time and space to run into the gaps, so turnovers are massive for us.

“It’s like a slingshot for attack because you’re in a position where you don’t have the ball and then all of a sudden you have it back.”
