Jenni's website is http://www.officialjennifalconer.com/ if you would like to have a snoop!
Whilst down at the training ground, Jenni got the inside scoop on the players' training regime, personal appearance preferences, as well as how Harlequins are supporting their chosen charity at The Big Game 2.
50,000 tickets have now been sold for the Big Game 2, which surpasses last year's attendance. You can buy tickets from www.ticketmaster.co.uk, and make sure you do, as this will be one of the few chances you will have to see Jamie Archer, Lucie Jones and one of the three X Factor finalists perform over the coming year, surely making this game a sell out.
