Four wins on the trot - two in the European Challenge Cup and two in the League against Northampton at home and Newcastle away suggest that Quins may have turned the corner. Massive turnaround over last 7 days with Deano's prediction of GP survival improved by a bonus win at Newcastle.

Team now confident and gelling. No need for further Benchmarking or wholesale weekly changes.
