In a recent Gallagher Premiership match, Harlequins delivered an impressive performance against Gloucester Rugby at Twickenham, with particular praise directed at fly-half Marcus Smith and scrum-half Danny Care. Smith's exceptional play, which included two 50/22 kicks in Big Game 15, earned him accolades as Player of the Round and a call for England Rugby's number 10 jersey by fans, directed at coach Steve Borthwick. Tyrone Green also stood out as Harlequins' leading metres runner this season, having run the most metres in the game. Meanwhile, in the United Rugby Championship, Ulster secured a rare one-point victory over Leinster in Dublin, marking only their second win there in the last decade. The win was attributed to Ulster's strong defense, smart kicking for tries, and a notable performance by Jacob Stockdale, who scored early in the game.
