- Pool B: Harlequins 36-33 Castres
- Dombrandt’s hat-trick seals another dramatic comeback
Chalk this up as yet another one for the scrapbook. Harlequins simply do not know when they are beaten and on this occasion it was their captain, Alex Dombrandt, who proved the hero, finishing off his hat-trick in the 85th minute to clinch another dramatic victory.
In doing so he broke Castres’ hearts – the French side coming agonisingly close to a place in the knockout stages – and sent a timely reminder of his talents to Eddie Jones. It seems that no matter the situation, provided Harlequins are in touching distance when the clock goes red they will find a way to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
