HARLEQUINS BIG GAME 16 INTRODUCTION
South-west London is the place to be this afternoon for the Harlequins Big Game 16 at the home of English rugby. Big Game is the biggest annual club rugby event in the world and the 16th edition promises to be the biggest and best yet featuring two spectacular rugby matches, world-class entertainment, another world record attendance expected and a fun-filled afternoon for the whole family.
At Big Game 15 Harlequins women broke the world record for a women’s club rugby match attendance with 16,327 supporters watching on at Twickenham Stadium as they took on Gloucester Hartpury. The crowd were treated to a superb encounter. Gloucester raced to a 26-0 lead before Harlequins fought back to within one score. But it wasn’t to be Gloucester closed out the match to win 31-19. In the men’s match Harlequins proved too strong for their Gloucester counterparts. With fly-half Marcus Smith pulling the strings, the hosts ran out 32-26 winners at the home of English rugby (see below for highlights of last year’s action).
Now Big Game returns and a festive spectacular is in store. Get your tickets now to experience the action live at the home of English Rugby!
MATCH PREVIEWS
Harlequins Women vs Leicester Tigers
The rugby extravaganza on the pitch gets underway at 3pm with Harlequins Women vs Leicester Tigers. The sides went head-to-head in the PWR last season with Quins winning both fixtures, outscoring Leicester 24-33 at Mattioli Woods Welford Road before an impressive 47-12 win at The Stoop.
Harlequins are aiming to attract another world record-breaking crowd for a women’s club rugby match and to break the record set at Big Game 15. The target is to attract more than 20,000 supporters to HQ to watch Quins go head-to-head with one of the best sides in the league.
Harlequins Men vs Leicester Tigers
At 6pm it’s Harlequins Men v Leicester Tigers. The sides meet for a third time at Big Game, with the previous matches finishing all square (26-26 at Big Game 1 and 30-30 at Big Game 12). The two sides also went head-to-head in the famous 2012 Aviva Premiership Final with Quins clinching the title with a 30-23 win in front of a packed Twickenham crowd.
