Orr set up a crucial try for Quins second-rower Matt Gafa early in the second half and ran and tackled as if his life depended on it. In this vein on Friday, he could put paid to Wigan's latest Wembley dream.

Tormentor: Danny Orr

The Londoners' coach, Brian McDermott, said: "That was Danny Orr's best performance in a Harlequins shirt."

Wigan were frustrated by their own indiscipline yesterday and the pedantic refereeing of Ashley Klein, who sent forward Gareth Hock to the sin bin for dissent with five minutes left.

Earlier, Hock went on report for a high tackle on another ex-Wigan man, Chris Melling.

Orr's duel with ex-Quin Thomas Leuluai — they swapped clubs in the close season — provided an interesting sub-plot but there were too many handling errors by both sides in the first half.

By the interval Quins led 8-4 after conceding an early try to Wigan's rugby union-bound fullback Chris Ashton.

Pat Richards missed the conversion attempt and then a penalty.

Quins made Wigan pay, centre Paul Sykes collecting an inside pass from Gafa to score after 27 minutes and adding the extras. Sykes then knocked over a penalty.

The crucial try was Gafa's after a break by Orr and, though Trent Barrett added a second Wigan touchdown, it was not enough.

Coach Brian Noble said: "We need to find out why one week we are Jekyll and the next week we are Hyde."
