  Justin Murphy's late try earned Catalans a dramatic win |
Justin Murphy's superb one-handed take from Thomas Bosc's chip earned Catalans a thrilling win over Harlequins. Bosc had earlier set up Jason Croker for the opening score before Michael Worrincy and Scott Hill powered over to put Quins in front at half-time. Chris Melling's try looked to have sealed it for Quins until Julien Touxagas pounced on Danny Orr's mistake to run in 90 yards to score. And Bosc's vision set up Murphy for a thrilling finale. Catalans coach Mick Potter "I'm very happy with the comeback but the other team looked better than us for most of the game and probably deserved to win. "I thought they were all over us in most aspects of the game. "Brian McDermott must be wondering what his team has to do to win a game because I thought they were unlucky against Wakefield last week, too." Harlequins coach Brian McDermott "I'm asking some questions. Maybe players are enjoying themselves in London too much."
