Quins Must Be Brave Against Leinster Titans

Harlequins winger Cadan Murley has emphasized the critical need for his team to exhibit bravery when they commence their Investec Champions Cup journey against Leinster in Dublin this Saturday. Quins enter the Pool 3 fixture with a challenging recent record, having suffered multiple defeats in domestic competitions. Despite this, Murley is advocating for a fearless mindset.

Murley drew parallels to a past European success, recalling how the team defied expectations against Bordeaux by adopting a bold strategy. He believes this 'swing the bat' approach, which encourages taking risks such as making difficult passes, is vital when facing physically dominant opponents like Leinster, where traditional methods of physical imposition may not suffice.

The 26-year-old winger expressed confidence in his teammates' ability to deliver a strong performance if each player reaches a high individual standard. The mantra for Europe, 'swing the bat,' encapsulates the required bravery and proactive decision-making needed to compete at the highest level and challenge renowned teams.
