It is an amazing achievement for Harlequins to not only have qualified for the next stage of the competition, which Director of Rugby, Dean Richards, considers to be 'the best club competition in the world'. By topping their pool, for the first time in the club's history, The Stoop will be the stage for their quarter final game against Leinster on Sunday 12th April.


Harlequins Captain, Will Skinner, looks forward to Leinster:

"This season's Heineken Cup has been a huge success. We have learnt from our experiences in last years' competition , where we didn't win a single game. This season we have not only won every game but one, we have won them in a number of different ways. Against Scarlets we came back from behind to claim the first victory and we went on to claim the bonus point at home against Ulster, rolling in six tries. Then came our two stunning back to back wins against Stade Francais, followed by another emphatic win against our Welsh rivals to finish top of the pool and get the home quarter final.
"Today's game will be a massive challenge for us all and we must make the most of the home advantage. Leinster commands a lot of respect because of the quality of players in the side and their impressive record in Europe, but we are ready for Sunday's challenge and keen to keep our impressive winning record at home intact."
