What is it about Harlequins and Leicester Tigers? Perhaps it is the spirit of Christmas conviviality but thrice now have these two sides taken to Twickenham turf for the annual “Big Game” winter warmer and, on each occasion, nothing has split them.
It is an improbable run that continued here with a 34-34 thriller befitting one of the best days in the English rugby calendar. It remains a great feat that the Allianz Stadium is consistently full for a helping of Twixmas fare that always seems to go down a treat after the days of overindulgence. The draw here joined the 30-30 result of 2019 and 26-all affair that began this fine festive tradition back in 2008.
