Adam Radwan runs riot as Leicester leave Quins' playoff hopes in tatters

Yesterday at 12:35 PM

• Leicester 40-7 Harlequins
• Radwan gets hat-trick after Anderson stretchered off

Could not have gone any worse for Harlequins; could not have gone much better for Leicester. Bath may now be the first team to be mathematically guaranteed a place in the playoffs, following their home win over Newcastle, but Leicester take another big stride towards joining them. Maximum points in front of nigh-on 26,000 of their faithful sends them above Sale into second, with three rounds remaining.

Quins are not mathematically out of it, eight points adrift of fourth, but realistically this is it for their season. That hideous experience in Dublin a few weeks ago seems to have knocked them sideways. Worse, Marcus Smith spent most of the match hobbling, before he was forced off in the final quarter, a forlorn figure, anxious thoughts of the Lions surely not far from his mind.
