Harlequins improved their Premiership winning streak at The Stoop to 11 after a dogged 31-17 win over Bath.

Harlequins suffered their first Premiership defeat of the season after they were edged out 28-22 by Sale Sharks.

Setting an early tone for the evening, Sale Sharks put significant pressure on the travelling Harlequins through a beefy forward pack. Despite early pressure releases through two superb lineout steals from young Quins forwards Dino Lamb and Jack Kenningham, Sale snuck through for an opening score for scrum-half Raffie Quirke in the 14th minute after a midfield break from Sale captain and blindside Jono Ross.

The return of star fly-half Marcus Smith sparked an eight-try win over Bristol Bears under the Friday night lights this week, with Harlequins continuing an unbeaten run in 2021 at their home ground.

This weekend's Round Two Premiership clash marked a special occasion on two counts. Firstly, Club enjoyed the return of full capacity Twickenham Stoop, with supporters in full voice, watching on as their side ran home a bonus-point victory in classic Quins fashion.
