Chris Malone helped Harlequins to continue their winning start to the new season with a comfortable win over Leeds at The Stoop.

Malone scored 18 points as Quins dominated the game from the first half.

They opened the scoring with a penalty try, before more scores from Tom Guest, Jordan Turner-Hall and Simon Keogh.

The visitors produced a better performance in the second half, Rhys Oakley and Vili Ma'asi adding scores, to reduce the deficit.


  • Harlequins director of rugby Dean Richards:

    "Having the smallest squad in the Premiership obviously impacts on us more than anyone.

    "But we are comfortable with our squad and the players we have brought in. I wouldn't change anyone."

    "If we continue with the performances we are showing, we might get somewhere this year, but we are going to give a lot of people a run for their money."

  • Leeds coach Stuart Lancaster on the loss of back-row forward Jon Dunbar to injury in the opening minutes:

    "It was a blow to us but we have got to move on from this, and learn from our mistakes.

    "We struggled in the set-pieces in the first half, but I thought we did better in the second.

    "There are areas we have got to look at before next week."
