London Welsh’s director of rugby Lyn Jones was not a happy man after seeing his side suffer a second successive heavy defeat.

“Tonight wasn’t a good day in the office, “ he said.

“We knew it would be a tough game, but we were keen to perform better than we did tonight.”

“The disappointment was not losing but not justifying how well we can play. The boys are devastated at the moment.

“We suffered a bit from Harlequins’ poor start last week. They came hard at us.

“We have got boys who are learning to deal with the speed and the intensity of the Premiership.

“We are hoping to adjust as quickly as we can.”
