Seven years on from the Bloodgate affair at Harlequins that left Dean Richards out in the rugby wilderness for three seasons, the Newcastle boss enjoyed a bonus-point victory in a try-fest against his former club.Richards, who lost his job in charge of Quins in 2009 after the use of a fake blood capsule in a Heineken Cup tie against Leinster, saw Newcastle run in six tries to follow up their victory at Northampton with a win that left Harlequins still without a success on the road.The in-form Falcons needed tries in the final quarter by Canada lock Evan Olmstead and England Sevens star Marcus Watson to halt a second-half fightback that had taken Harlequins from 26-8 down to just 26-22 behind.Argentina centre Juan Pablo Socino scored two tries and scrum-half Mickey Young and flanker Mark Wilson one each for the Falcons, who registered their first try bonus of the season.Newcastle now have five wins from 10 Premiership matches, equalling their tally from the whole of last seasons 22-match campaign. Harlequins - who were without England players Chris Robshaw, Marland Yarde, Mike Brown, Joe Marler, Kyle Sinckler and Danny Care - have won all five of their home games but lost all five away.They did, however, earn their first points on the road, Timn Vissers injury-time score against his former club earning a try bonus and Ruaridh Jacksons subsequent conversion earning a losing bonus point.Fly-half Tim Swiel kicked Harlequins into a 3-0 lead with a seventh-minute penalty, but they were trailing after 12 minutes. Young broke smartly from the base of a scrum and exchanged passes with winger Alex Tait before scoring under the posts.Fly-half Joel Hodgson added the conversion to give Newcastle a 7-3 lead, but Harlequins were not long in hitting back. An 18th-minute attack ended with former Newcastle winger Visser feeding hooker Rob Buchanan for a try in the right corner.Swiel was off target with the conversion attempt, but Harlequins were back in front 8-7 The lead continued to see-saw, Socino picking up a loose ball at a ruck and darting over the Harlequins try-line after 28 minutes and Hodgson landing the conversion to make it 14-8 to Newcastle.The home side were on an attacking roll and three minutes later they had a third try, captain Wilson barging over from close range after a slick line-out move. Hodgsons conversion stretched the lead to 21-8 at the interval.Two minutes into the second half Newcastle had their bonus point score, Socino taking a pass from fellow centre Fred Burdon and dashing over for his second try of the afternoon.This time Hodgson pushed the conversion wide, but the lead was up to 26-8. Scrum-half Karl Dickson gave Harlequins hope of a fightback, diving over from close range for a 53rd-minute try that was converted by replacement fly-half Jackson.That cut the home lead to 11 points and, when Dickson broke through the home defence for his second try, again converted by Jackson, Harlequins were just 26-22 down with 20 minutes still to play.Olmsteads unconverted try after 65 minutes gave Newcastle breathing space at 31-22. A Jackson penalty pegged the score back to 31-25, but then, with 76 minutes on the clock, Watson scored try number six for Newcastle in the left corner and full-back Delany converted.To their credit, Quins salvaged dual consolation at the death, Visser crossing on the left for a try bonus and Jackson converting for a losing bonus point.

India and Tamil Nadu seamer L Balaji will retire from first-class and List A cricket, but has said he will be available for smaller T20 leagues.Balaji will meet TNCA president N Srinivasan later this evening to formally announce his retirement. The TNCA, it is learnt, is keen for Balaji to be bowling coach for the 2016-17 domestic season, a role he also fulfilled in the 2015-16 season. Balaji is expected to take a call after discussing the terms of his contract during his meeting with Srinivasan.I have taken a decision on not playing senior-level cricket any longer in any format. I have asked the TNCA to not pick me for the Tamil Nadu team this season, he told ESPNcricinfo. I am still looking to continue playing the smaller leagues, but lets see how it goes.Balaji, 34, made his first-class debut for Tamil Nadu in the 2001-02 season, against the Colombo District Cricket Association, and took 37 wickets in his maiden first-class season in India. The following season, he finished as the joint highest wicket-taker in the Ranji Trophy in 2002-03, with 47 dismissals, and went on to make a Test debut in October 2003 against New Zealand in Ahmedabad.Overall, Balaji played 106 first-class matches, taking 330 wickets at an average of 26.10, with 16 five-fors and four ten-wicket hauls. In List A cricket, his record stands at 145 wickets in 100 matches at an average of 29.35. He also captained Tamil Nadu for three seasons - from 2011-12 to 2013-14, with the side reaching the Ranji Trophy final in 2011-12.Balaji picked the spell against Delhi in the Ranji Trophy semifinal in 2002-03 as one of his favourites in his first-class career. Balaji took 5 for 49 in the second innings, and seven in the match, to help Tamil Nadu beat Delhi by 132 runs. I think I have been part of some very interesting matches, he said. I picked up a five-for in the second innings against a team that featured three, four Test players like Gautam Gambhir, Virender Sehwag and Aakash Chopra. My spell of 6 for 24 against Bengal in 2008-09 [Ranji Trophy quarter-final] was also very special.His last first-class appearance came in the 2014-15 Ranji Trophy final, in which Karnataka beat Tamil Nadu by an innings and 217 runs. Before the 2015-16 season, Balaji was named bowling coach and was also picked as a player, though he did not eventually play any first-class matches in the season. His appearances for Tamil Naadu in 2015-16 were limited to four one-day matches in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.ddddddddddddSince then, Balaji has only played in the inaugural Tamil Nadu Premier League T20 tournament, where he has taken eight wickets so far for Albert TUTI Patriots.Balaji played eight Tests between 2003 and 2005, picking up 27 wickets at an average of 37.18. His best performances in Tests came against Pakistan in the 2003-04 and 2004-05 seasons. On the tour of Pakistan in 2004, Balaji took 12 wickets in the three-Test series, including a haul of 7 for 171 in the decisive Rawalpindi Test, which India won to claim the series 2-1.The following year, when Pakistan toured India, Balaji was among the wickets again, ending with 14 wickets in three matches. This included a match haul of nine in the first Test in Mohali, where he also claimed his only five-for in the format.Balaji also played 29 ODIs between November 2002 and August 2005, before suffering a career-threatening stress fracture for which he underwent back surgery. He eventually made a comeback to the Indian side after being picked for the ODIs in Sri Lanka in early 2009, but played only one match in the series.Despite his international career remaining ridden with injuries, Balaji said he was fortunate to having played alongside his childhood heroes. To play alongside bigger brothers like Zaheer [Khan], Ashish [Nehra], Harbhajan [Singh] and Yuvi [Yuvraj Singh]… they have always been looking after me, he said. Also playing with the six legends - Viru [Virender Sehwag ], Sourav [Ganguly], Anil [Kumble] bhai, Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman - was a dream come true.I am very indebted to my seniors from my state; I have learnt a lot from every cricketer I have played and interacted with. The TNCA has been very supportive, especially when I had a surgery, and N Srinivasan, especially, backed me. Of course, I am indebted to my family, my wife, my sisters, and my friends, without whom I wouldnt have made this level from being a tennis-ball cricketer.I have made the physios job and the doctors job very tough for a few years, so I would like to thank them for helping me come out of a career-threatening injury. I kept them busy for sometime, and in the end made good friends in a different field.
