Black hoping Quins will get it spot on this time

“It is so difficult to score goals from play that teams tend to concentrate on setting up penalty corners” he said. “When you get into the ‘D’ you always want to get something out of it and unless you have a clear shot at goal you will look for a corner.”

Black plays an important role in Harlequins’ corner routine for he is responsible for the ‘drag-flick’ from the deadball line.
