When debating which teams will be in the mix for the Prem title this season, it’s fair to say that Harlequins aren’t a name crossing many people’s lips. Finishing ninth of 10 teams in last season’s league table will have that effect.
Given the fact that Quins have been on a steady downward trajectory for the past half-decade since winning the title in 2020-2021 – finishing third (before losing in the semi-finals) in 2021-22, coming sixth for each of the next two seasons and seventh in 2024-25 before the nadir of second-bottom last term – this is hardly surprising. But Danny Care remains hopeful.
