The visitors trailed 16-8 at the break but two tries from Trent Barrett saw Wigan leave the capital with a valuable point, and Noble insisted his team should have come away with a win after full-back Pat Richards missed two second-half conversions.

Noble said: "I'm still pretty confident we'll get in the top six and make the play-offs, we might have to win all of our last three games but we're determined to do it."

He added: "I am not happy with the result, but it was a good second half from us.

"We should've won it but we lacked some composure - there were too many drop goal attempts too early - and then we got nervous at the end.

"I was unhappy with Harlequins' second try of the game. It looked an obvious knock-on and I think there was only one person in the stadium who didn't see that knock-on.

"But we showed good desire in the second half and Trent Barrett dug in and took his two tries very well."

Quins dominated the first half and tries from Matt Gafa and Scott Hill set them on their way.

Thomas Leuluai reduced the deficit with a try against his former club before Mark McLinden restored the advantage with a superb solo effort.

But for the second home game running Quins buckled in the second half as Barrett scored two brilliant tries.
