Conor O'Shea: 'Harlequins were incredible to beat Gloucester Rugby'

Harlequins director of rugby Conor O'Shea praises his side for showing 'incredible spirit' to earn a 29-26 win at home to Gloucester in the Aviva Premiership.

Harlequins director of rugby Conor O'Shea has claimed that his side showed 'incredible spirit' to defeat Gloucester Rugby in the Aviva Premiership.

Quins scored two late tries at Twickenham Stoop on Saturday as they came from behind to earn a 29-26 victory.

The result has left Harlequins in eighth place in the table, 12 points adrift of the playoff positions.

"It was never going to be easy for us but you can't buy the spirit and resolve we showed out there," O'Shea is quoted as saying by London24.com. "It was difficult at times but our heads never went down. The fight we showed was incredible.

"We'll go to the bitter end for Europe and we know we're up against it and will have to win our three games starting with Sale next. That will decide whether we can get back into the playoffs."

Quins have now won two of their last three games in the league following a run of three consecutive defeats.
