• Exeter Chiefs stunned by Quins
Chaos at the Stoop, as a fantastic contest concluded at the death with a Quins victory. The lead had changed hands throughout, especially in a second half that featured turn after turn. Exeter faced one passage of play, well after time, down to 13 men, but the final deed – a penalty try the umpteenth chaotic scrum – settled the game in the home team’s favour five minutes after the clock had turned red.
The bonus-point win takes Quins into the top six, from ninth, but Exeter remain clear at the top. Curiously, it was at the scrum that they would be found out, even as they ran in three fine tries themselves with an aplomb more associated with Harlequins.
