"Harlequins scored 10 tries in a convincing 68-14 Investec Champions Cup win against Bayonne at Twickenham Stoop. Quins backed up their creditable showing at Leinster, where they took a try bonus point from a 45-28 defeat, with their first win of this season's pool phase. They struggled for rhythm early on but the floodgates opened once captain Cadan Murley collected Marcus Smith's low kick to score."
"England fly-half Smith landed nine of his 10 conversion attempts for a personal tally of 18 points and showed his creative class by making Quins' first two tries with smart kicks. After setting up Murley for the opener, Smith sent a fine crossfield effort into the hands of the advancing Treadwell on the left wing for the second. The hosts scored 14 points either side of half-time while Quins flanker Will Evans was in the sin bin, having been yellow-carded for an infringement at the breakdown in the build-up to Lucas Paulos' try for Bayonne."
Harlequins scored ten tries to beat Bayonne 68-14 at Twickenham Stoop, claiming a bonus-point Champions Cup victory. Marcus Smith converted nine of ten attempts and created the first two tries with precise kicking. Cadan Murley opened the scoring, Kieran Treadwell crossed twice (including one after replacing an injured lock), and Fin Baxter and Pedro Delgado scored before half-time. Will Porter and Sam Riley each touched down twice in the second half, with Jamie Benson also crossing. Bayonne conceded a growing number of penalties and experienced a period affected by a sin-bin, while travelling supporters remained spirited.
