We can pull off upset - McDermott

Brian McDermott
McDermott's side have slipped to ninth in the Super League table

Harlequins head coach Brian McDermott says his side are more than capable of beating Leeds Rhinos this weekend.

The Super League leaders head to the Stoop on Sunday in the fifth round of the Challenge Cup and McDermott is looking forward to it.

"You've got to play a certain way against Leeds to be in that arena where you can beat them," he told BBC London.

"We've had two very good performances over the last two weeks and we just haven't got the results."

He added "With everything that's been going on over the last two weeks, the boys have got some steel in them at the moment. They're a bit angry and a bit battle hardened.

"We've got Leeds Rhinos in the Cup at home in front of our own spectators. Its going to be a great day."
