BATH TOO STRONG FOR QUINS AS CARRERAS SCORE WONDER TRY
Santi Carreras’ terrific try alongside scores from Dan du Preez, Joe Cokanasiga, Dan Frost and Ewan Richards were enough for Bath to cruise to victory at The Stoop.
Quins - who were without a number of stars including Marcus Smith and George Furbank - put up a good fight but ultimately succumbed to the visitors’ quality.
Debutant Du Preez opened the scoring after 13 minutes before Will Porter collected a loose lineout from his side to dance his way to the line to respond but Connor Slevin failed to convert.
Cokanasiga extended Bath’s lead in the 23rd minute, powering his way through a gap to score but Chandler Cunningham-South pounced on a sleeping Bath defence to score Quins’ second try only a minute later.
Then came the game’s big moment. Carreras stopped a nearly guaranteed Quins try by intercepting the final pass with his foot.

The ball looped up in the air, which he caught, and then proceeded to run the length of the pitch to score with 33 minutes played.
There was still time for Frost to go over in the 39th minute after a driving maul. Finn Russell converted, as he did with each first-half try.
Four minutes after the break, Pedro Delgado went over for the hosts to give them hope but Sam Riley soon saw yellow for failing to wrap his arms in the tackle.
With Quins down to 10, they lost momentum and eventually Richards went over late on to seal the five-point win for Bath.

WATCH: RUSSELL SHOWS GREAT HANDS
The Scottish fly-half might not be the headline grabber tonight but he was on show once again proving why he is one of the games' best.

WHERE DO QUINS GO FROM HERE?
The hosts will be leaving disappointed but with a belief they can do a lot better than they did last season.
To put up a good fight against Bath without their four biggest players is in itself an achievement.
Quins head on the road from here to take on Gloucester next before a trip to Sale.

WHAT NEXT FOR BATH?
Last season's runners-up are up-and-running for the season with a bonus point win. Next up for them they host Exeter before a mammoth away fixture against the reigning champions Northampton Saints.

HEAR FROM THE MAN OF THE MATCH
Santi Carreras speaking to TNT Sports after the match and spoke about his wonder try that he will be watching back again and again.
He said: "Really god job from the lads. It has been a good last few weeks. It was long summer for me but I was so excited to get back.
"Once we get into the 22, we score, which is important for us. Every entry in that first half we scored. It just came into my mind [his intercept try with his foot]. It was a two-on-one and I could just try it and it went well. I watched it back once on the big screen and I will watch it back again.”

FULL-TIME: HARLEQUINS 17-33 BATH
The answer is no, they cannot. A Quins' knock-on brings this encounter to a close.
What a great game of rugby but one where Bath's quality was on display for all to see which proved too much for the hosts.
A magnificent try from Carreras the big moment of the game and the moment that turned the tide in Bath's favour. They didn't look back after that.
For Quins, they showed promise and heart without their four best players and will take many positives from tonight's game into the rest of the season.
Stay tuned for post-match reaction!

GREAT SKILL
A long boot from Bellamy sees Russell tracing back into his 22 to collect the ball.
Three Quins players surround him and just as he looks in peril, he jinks left then right and plays a pass through them to his teammate.
Brilliant.

A bonus point all Quins can play for now.

TRY! HARLEQUINS 17-33 BATH (RICHARDS 72')
And that should be it.
Harlequins cannot prevent the Bath maul from rolling over the line and replacement lock Richards is the man to score Bath’s fifth try of the night. Russell’s conversion slides wide of the right post but Bath lead by 16 with just eight minutes left.

CARRERAS KICKS TOO LONG
A knock-on from Quins sees the ball fall to Carreras who goes to his boot again but he kicks into touch.
He and Russell both want the scrum but the ref says the Argentine kicked the ball out of play under no pressure and therefore we have a Quins lineout.
And...it is not a straight delivery. Bath get their scrum after all.

NEARLY BUT NOT QUITE
Bath win a penalty on halfway and decide to take it quickly through Carr-Smith, who then offloads to Russell. The fly-half’s pass finds Ojomoh but the centre is bundled into touch near the Bath 22.
Carr-Smith feels Quins tackled within 10 metres - he probably has a point - but nothing coming.
