It's Toulouse away in the Investec European Champions Cup semi-final on Sunday May 5th. It could be epic.
Toulouse hammered Exeter Chiefs 64-26 on their own pitch to earn the right to host Quins and might well start as favourites to reach another final.
But, after the absolutely epic single point win at Bordeaux Begles to reach their first European semi-final, it would be foolish to write the great entertainers off. Somehow Quins have the ability to take games to the wire and win. If they're still in the game going into the final quarter on May 5th it could be a white knuckle ride to the final whistle.
Certainly Bordeaux Begles were stunned as Quins went into a 28-12 half time lead and then Tyrone Green's converted try gave them a 42-36 advatage going into the dying minutes.
Drama as the home side had the chance to win when Madosh Tambwe went over but Maxime Luce's conversion failed.
This was a French side which had hammered Sarries already twice this season. Can Quins do it again?
