EVANS SAYS RELAXED QUINS ‘SHINE THROUGH’
Harlequins fly-half Jarrod Evans says his side play at their best when relaxed, as they beat Exeter 19-36.
“I’m starting to learn a lot about myself since coming to the Premiership,
“I feel that when I’m more relaxed I play my best rugby, I speak for a lot of the boys as well. That composure, when we’re more relaxed is when we really shine through.”

EVANS DOUBLE PUTS QUINS IN FIFTH
Open-side flanker Will Evans scored a brace of tries as Harlequins record an emphatic 19-36 win at Exeter.
The Chiefs came into the match searching for a first win of the Gallagher Premiership and faced a Quins side without their influential England stars.
However, the likes of Marcus Smith, Fin Baxter and Joe Marler had more than suitable replacements.
With both sides needing a win to boost their Premiership hopes Oscar Beard’s opener for Quins was quickly cancelled out by Ross Vintcent in reply.
However, Argentine winger Rodrigo Isgro, who is making a big impact at Harlequins, put his side back ahead before Evans scored a third try with just 24 minutes played.
Despite Will Rigg pulling the Cheifs back to seven points at the break Evans was on hand to put the visitors out of sight with a bonus point score early in the second half.
Hopes of a late Chiefs charge were boosted by a Ben Hammersley try, but it was Quins who were triumphant with Cadan Murley sealing the win with a fifth try for the visitors late on.
Quins head into the international break in fifth, while Chiefs have now lost six consecutive matches and have five points to their name from six matches.
