'No fear' Quins in 'biggest week' in club history

Alex Dombrandt scored a try against Bordeaux Begles to help Harlequins to their second ever knockout win in the Champions Cup

Harlequins number eight Alex Dombrandt says his side are in "the biggest week in the club's history" as they prepare to face Toulouse in their Champions Cup semi-final on Sunday.

Quins, who are set for their first semi-final appearance in the competition, are taking on the record five-time winners in south-west France.

In the pool stages they lost 47-19 to the French side at Twickenham Stoop.

The English team produced a fine performance to beat Bordeaux-Begles 42-41 in last month's quarter-finals, while Toulouse thrashed Exeter 64-26 in the same round.

"I haven't seen any fear this week," said Dombrandt.

"It is the biggest week in the club's history. They [Toulouse] are a team of superstars across the board, and we also know we are going to have to go there and score tries."

Quins are hoping to become the competition's first new finalist since La Rochelle in 2021.

This year's final is at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on 25 May.
