On the evidence of this stop-stop encounter, it is nowhere near enough. Maro Itoje, one of eight returning England internationals on display, stirred himself. The second row reacted to suggestions that he had looked tired during the Six Nations by lying down and simulating sleep after scoring Saracens’ second try. Were Itoje and his England colleagues tired or bored with the repetitive nature of training and playing? Quins showed a hint of dynamism after the break, sparked by Catrikilis’s replacement, Marcus Smith.
