World record 83,761 crowd watch Harlequins sink Saracens

As an Olympics Ambassador, I joined 3000 of my fellow games volunteers today at Wembley Stadium.

The whole set up was all geared up to support the current Premiership champions Saracens, but Harlequins were in no mood to play bridesmaids.

I found it amusing how loud music blared out after each Saracens point, but all Harlequins were greeted with was a gloomy announcement and particulars from the stadium announcer.

To really dampen the party mood, Quins ground out a gritty 24-19 win. The game was watched by a massive crowd of 83,761 - a world record for a rugby match.
