Pens: Evans 4

Bayonne beat Harlequins as torrential rain ruined any chance of flowing rugby in their European Challenge Cup tie.

Quins led at half-time as Nick Evans kicked four penalties, but Joe Pietersen crossed for Bayonne after a great turn of pace from Pepito Elhorga.

Benjamin Boyet scored a penalty and Sam Gerber splashed over for their second try after getting on the end of Boyet's kick which got stuck in a puddle.

Quins' Chris Robshaw was sin-binned and Cedric Garcia kicked a sealing penalty.
