Harlequins’ Marland Yarde was strangely withdrawn just before kick-off against Wasps this afternoon.
The winger was being disciplined for missing the final captain’s run training session before the Champions Cup clash.
And if that, along with the 41-10 defeat, did not cause enough misery for ‘Quins, a yellow card and possible follow-up citing for prop, Joe Marler, who was sent to the sin-bin for striking Wasps lock, Will Rowlands, in the 50th minute, deepened the gloom.
