Harlequins - Close Quarters, Episode 1 - Pre-season Training

Welcome to Episode 1 of Close Quarters - the first of our monthly behind-the-scenes features on life with Harlequins.

Let us know what you think by leaving a comment below!
This season we will take you closer to the team than ever before.

I don’t support Quins but as a rugby fan i love this, more please!

[@stevethea5250]

Easy way is download the lott app, create a syndicate with the names and number of shares, use the barcode it generates when you buy the tickets at the newsagent and one ticket per share prints out. Any prizes are automatically split per share. At work we have a 50 share syndicate with each share being $10. People buy from 1 to 4 shares and we each have to take our tickets to collect our winnings.

Who do u support

[@rivingtonpike7899]

Chris robshaw comes across as a really good bloke

[@briandevine9980]

Met him in ibiza few weeks back. Walked up to him on a night out and asked him for a picture. It was not a problem for him. Took his time spoke to me and wished me the best. Gentleman to take the time considering he was on a lads holiday

[@mikes246]

Huge fan of this kind of content (took a queue from Rising Sons?). It's amazing to see the what goes on with the whole team behind the scenes. Please keep it coming. Got to question the budgie smugglers at 11:18 though.

[@HarlequinsRU]

Thank you. The plan is for a regular monthly feature so keep an eye out and please share! Hope to see you at The Stoop.

[@tollyt7465]

@@HarlequinsRU Are the budgie smugglers part of this seasons kit?

[@badgerific]

Never question budgie smugglers. If you don’t wear them you just have issues downstairs...

[@michaelrobertson7650]

@@HarlequinsRU great job well done.

[@bender9407]

great group of guys at quins had the pleasure to do a training camp with danny care and mike brown a while back. good luck with the upcoming season boys

[@cubbs83]

The nature boy Ric Flair at the end was epic!! Do that before every game be ready to run through some people.

[@deshaunsweeney4169]

Love this style of content, let’s the fans that support the team enough to find its KZbin channel see behind the scenes

[@musafawundu6718]

This is like Hard Knocks for Premiership Rugby...

[@burnie-localgaming3718]

As a new player to rugby, watching the intensity of the blokes training makes me wish our club had this style of training

[@PabbyRibbons]

All my teams live a little further south of the Equator but I'll definitely keep watching these - so well done. Keep 'em coming!

[@sailasavakalala8660]

Thank you Harlequins...you made me feel part of the set-up !!!!

[@cbassbris9405]

Good shout with Sean long Assisstant coach 👍

[@DeSousm]

This is an amazing idea... please keep this up. Quins on the social media nailing it!

[@josh_adams_fit]

Loving the stash boxes

[@rpandrews8633]

Great content! Would love to see Quins do well this year.

[@Geomontage]

This was a lot of fun to watch!

[@theolaver1597]

[@Dumpercoin]

Football is never this fun. I know they edit but this content got me thinking of High school sports days

Awesome video, looking forward to seeing them in action this season.

Absolutely love this. Really interesting insight. I now have a slight man crush on both Francis sailli and Toby freeman.

[@HarlequinsRU]

[@iona912]

Great mindset from Francis, Real work happens with the family first💯 respect

[@wdai03]

Yea boys get your training bras on

[@markhamer7220]

seems like a decent fella Robshaw.

[@archiebiltcliffe]

Would be great if you guys could do something with Surrey Uni rugby as you train on the same pitches!

[@ivax132]

Aficionado sin mucha idea de Ingles, alguien sabe que dicen en el último minuto cuando están de rodillas?

[@guacamoleontoast4591]

17:15 so cute

[@coote99]

Any idea what the dynamometer at 2.15 Chris Robshaw is using?

[@homeone4054]

Checking how dynamomety he is

[@jimmylea1622]

wow i dont know, why here in argentina we dont copy this things

[@jshaw4944]

Laugh out loud funny, watch out for the dodgy swimwear.

[@TheARE316]

Why are they wearing sports bras?

[@jakebear1907]

imagine if craige Bellamy was there conditioning coach, this team would tear the comp up

[@Washyourbum28]

Damn just thinking about that, this team would demolish

[@urielpelaez8199]

This ain’t training this is summer camp lol

[@hammer5193]

[@olympicfitness]

I'm from Liverpool and support St Helens, but this is epic. You've got s superb man in Sean Long too. I kicked a drop goal from 20m in front of him. Scousers don't know how to do rugby. 😂😂

[@usarugbyleagueunionfan]

Mulvaney Fitness I love both League and Union. Follow both religiously. It’s amazing all the league defensive coaches being poached by Union. What the hell happened to the Saints vs the Wire in Challenge Cup?

[@simonweaver975]

@@usarugbyleagueunionfan Longy has gone to teach them rugby league attacking lines I believe. We bottled it in the final mate. Wire were much smarter with the ball which led to them making less errors than us

[@harryprice715]

Not allowed to do flips at liquid leisure

[@HarlequinsRU]

😂

[@danb835]

You have a small willy

[@harryprice715]

Dan B mean

[@VicTor-wb5yo]

what is he wearing at 2:35

[@VicTor-wb5yo]

the half jersey

[@johnyyy_03]

To track how long they have sprinted and how fast they run aswell as tackles made

[@reecejones7215]

Wtf are some of them wearing?

[@thaboshikwambane5578]

Why are the guys wearing gym bras?🤔😂

[@seanknot]

wasnt nearly enough needles lying around compared to a normal rugby training session

[@foggy7577]

this isnt Rising Sons

[@HarlequinsRU]

Correct.

[@EliasLeo6]

Sorry, but why do they wear the "bra"-like tops? 2:27

[@wm1143]

Measures heart rate

[@EliasLeo6]

@@wm1143 aaaah, ok, so it's like a extra secure chest strap recording heart rate and gps. Maybe they are also not allowed wrist fitness trackers due to safety rules

[@rpapibear13]

looks like broncos. no matter how much i train. those can go to hell

[@beatonthedonis]

1.54 - they could get stoned to death for that in Iran.

[@Bad_Gnasher]

And i think we know why Quins never win anything.

[@ronanrogers4127]

They don’t look very fit. I hope they improve.

[@abhinavbinu3545]

Football is better than rugby

[@lulurobot2065]

Dudes gotta start wearing clothes over or under those sports bra trackers,

[@MrDanielfrost56]

Just copying the rising sons. :(

[@hanchesterman5661]

Because nobody did ever cover preparations for a season or tournament before England did🤷🏼‍♀️

[@HarlequinsRU]

It isn't supposed to be a copy - just a way of showing what happens at our club. Appreciate the comment though. 👍

[@tim73639]

I would kindly refer you to the first living with the lions doc filmed 22 years ago..

[@rebeccaelliott9770]

Why are you mad at a club sharing awesome behind the scenes stuff. Great that Rising Sons is inspiring clubs to share content too. Hope it inspires other clubs too

Dan you wanker!
