Adam Jones has outlined how Harlequins have been tapping into the thoughts of England football manager Gareth Southgate as they seek an unlikely comeback in their Heineken Champions Cup tie against Montpellier on Saturday.
Quins trail by 14 points from the first leg, with the tournament having UEFA Champions League style aggregate scores in the knockout stages for the first time. It means the Gallagher Premiership champions must produce a special performance in the return match at The Stoop to turn things around.
To try to get an edge, they have asked Southgate for assistance given his experience in football, where two-legged affairs are commonplace. Wales legend Jones, who won 100 Test caps, is part of the Quins coaching team and was among the interested observers.
