It's this Sunday and could be a good way to spend the time between the Double Header and the 2ndXV game against Wasps on Monday

The man was a true legend and one of the best players ever to pull on a Quins shirt. Are there any others on here who saw him play?

I played with Bosco and can confirm that he was an exceptional player. Though as a team mate it was sometimes confusing because he was always doing the unexpected and you did not always know in which direction he would suddenly head off. He thoroughly enjoyed his rugby and always had a big smile.
