Gloucester head coach George Skivington told BBC Radio Gloucestershire: <\/p>\n
“I expected us to be good in defence, I expected us to try and back up what we did last week but nilling a team is outstanding and that shows character more than anything. <\/p>\n
“The work Joel Tomkins [defence coach] has done to get the boys in that mindset is great.<\/p>\n
“The snapshot for me of the game is when we are winning at the end and we chase back as hard as we did to stop Quins getting a try – that’s really the character we’re looking for.<\/p>\n
“All round pretty happy, I think there’s a lot of things we can do better. We felt like that at half-time, that was what we talked about, and that’s testament to the group – they’re working unbelievably hard, theyre not satisfied.”<\/p>\n
Harlequins head coach Jason Gilmore said: <\/p>\n
“The performance was totally unacceptable and you are not going to win a game with a 21-5 penalty count against you.<\/p>\n
“We fed the referee, which meant we struggled for possession, and they were able to get easy field position and were able to launch 20 line-outs in the red zone to our five.<\/p>\n
“At half-time we felt we could still do something but conceding two tries in the first four minutes after the interval took the wind out of our sails.<\/p>\n
“That put the result beyond doubt and we spun out of control afterwards as we tried to chase the game.”<\/p>\n
