QUINS GET BONUS
POINT WIN IN CHALANGE CUP
Benoit Paillaugue's four penalties put the French side in
control early on.
But two tries in nine minutes from Luke Wallace and Nick
Easter saw Harlequins turn around a nine-point deficit and lead 15-12 at
half-time.
Jack Clifford and Danny Care scored tries after great
driving mauls, while Ollie Lindsay-Haugue and Chris Robshaw also went over in
the second half.
But the hosts were back in it when a great play from the
lineout - after Evans had superbly landed a kick in the corner - saw Wallace sneak
over from five metres out.
Evans missed the conversion attempt but was successful after
Easter nipped in to score to help the home side to a three-point lead at the
break.
A terrific driving maul saw Clifford go over and Evans added
the conversion to score his 2,000th point for Harlequins.
Care then went over after another impressive driving maul to
secure Quins a bonus point, while replacement Ollie Lindsay-Haugue raced in
under the posts
And Kyle Sinckler's clever deft touch set free Robshaw for
Harlequins' sixth try.
