Harlequins fans will be thinking what if? Those two Dupont tries killed the game but credit to them for not giving up.

[@TwoCentsRugby]

Yeah man exactly - as good as Toulouse are, some of those tries Quins conceded were soft

[@eoinh3816]

JGP vs DuPont and Joe Mccarthy vs Emmanuel Meafou 💥💥

[@TwoCentsRugby]

Yeah man massive matchups!

Hi, Mark great video as always, as a Toulouse fan I'm really looking forward to facing our European rivals in the final. I hope it goes our way this year. And just a pronunciation tip for someone we will probably be hearing a lot of for the years to come, Costes is pronounced "Cost"

[@TwoCentsRugby]

Ok great tip! Love the pronunciation advice - he looks a good player!

[@patanouketgersiflet9486]

@@TwoCentsRugby He's extremely promising, always fun to watch and surprisingly solid in defense.

[@pueyo31]

Ça dépend a Toulouse on prononce " costeu"😊

[@mattmasksforehead620]

2:31 - it was a 50-22 but it was more than that. It was a set-piece move from a lineout on halfway, clearly designed to bring up the winger from the backfield and make space for the 50-22 kick. Really really clever and I think the first time I've seen a side specifically plan around the 50-22 like that.

[@TwoCentsRugby]

Really smart! They didn't replay anything so it was kinda just brushed over! Pity for such a nice move

[@jonchess8844]

Same as before but crowd numbers and atmosphere amazing.

[@TwoCentsRugby]

Yeah I forgot to mention the crowd, incredible!

[@timrobinson2587]

Going to be a great final game

[@TwoCentsRugby]

Yeah man should be very intense!

[@charlottescott7150]

Thanks Mark. As a Quins fan I was sad that they made some uncharacteristic errors (a bit like Saints yesterday!) but I did think that it would be really one sided so I am glad that they did do pretty well with 4 tries.

[@TwoCentsRugby]

Yeah 4 tries is more than most would expect away to Toulouse - but jeepers some of those tries will not look great to have conceded in the review

[@charlottescott7150]

@@TwoCentsRugby you are so right! Perhaps it was nerves or the pressure Toulouse put on them? But Joe Marler was just an idiot.

[@pueyo31]

Belle équipe des quins' avec de l avenir et en tout cas tres agréable a voir jouer. Les equipes anglaises vont revenir sur le devant de la scene.

[@SingularSuperNinja]

I will never understand Marler.

[@davidcunningham947]

To be fair I'm not sure he does himself most days 🤣😅 but he just kinda rolls with shit and I am usually entertained by the resulting madness 🤷

[@yvonnemullen3325]

Will you and Tony do a champions cup final episode? Pplllleeeaaasssee!

[@chrismouton1985]

Quins brought the heat! Dupont is just a cheat code. It seems as if his stint at 7's improved his speed and workrate. Very quick thinking for his tries.

[@FJM992]

Can’t wait to watch this Toulouse side live at the Tottenham stadium in a few weeks time.

[@TwoCentsRugby]

Yeah man it's gonna be a huge occasion

[@brianmsahin]

Excellent review Mark. For the first 15 minutes of that second half I thought my wild prediction of a Harlequins win might come true! Even near the end they were still in with a slight chance until Marler made a buffoon of himself. He's been around long enough to know better.

[@TwoCentsRugby]

Sad that the one brain explosion moment cost Quins a chance to push at the death aye - would have made for a nail biting finish if they'd managed one more score before 80 minutes

[@colmgeiran3476]

At this level, every error proves costly. Toulouse v Leinster will be a mega game. We need to ensure our lads are primed with URC game time. We looked rusty in the second half. 5 🌟 beckon .

[@TwoCentsRugby]

Both Leinster and Toulouse showed a bit of second half complacency aye - surely they'll both be hammer and tongs for the final though

[@JKMeZmA]

There are loads of players aren’t there who seem to just be their own worst enemies at times. Mike Brown a few weeks ago, and although not as game defining, Joe Marler this week.

[@TwoCentsRugby]

Yeah brain dead stuff at times aye...

[@pscot9620]

Du pont reminds me of the vampires from Buffy the vampire slayer

[@magnificoas388]

Did the couple drink a beer together after the match?....I mean Marler and Ramos :)

[@dragonfire4957]

Great game...Smith is scared of being tackled!!

[@TwoCentsRugby]

Me too 😅

[@ryandougall]

Marler is very dumb well said baffling that he did that at such a pivotal point in the game

[@TwoCentsRugby]

Yeah man total brain explosion

[@Frugbyy]

Well done Harlequins for the though battle. Toulouse fans were already seing themselves in finale, but Toulouse actually seemed pretty average and ineffective offensively on the structured phases. Now they'll have to level up their attacking game and stop overplaying vs Leinster, because there will be way less turnovers.

[@TwoCentsRugby]

Yeah Toulouse certainly got a few soft ones they won't be getting against Leinster

[@Natedawg38]

Marler is actually a cool guy, i saw him on a podcast recently and he was doing it from his car because his home wifi is so bad so he parked next to his local garage and conducted the interview there. He is very very funny and lovable. But yeah that was a dumbass thing to do. Obviously youre going to get caught.

[@TwoCentsRugby]

Yeah he rubs some people up the wrong way but I don't mind him. But yeah that one moment was about as dumb as it gets

[@deedrabbit]

Can he not record it on his tv and watch at a reasonable hour?

[@TwoCentsRugby]

My streaming provider allows customers to replay whenever within 24 hours - the game was on at 2am so I watched at 6am - which is more reasonable 😅
