Harlequins 41-24 Exeter result - PREM Rugby sensation as Quins dominate second half to reel in Chiefs lead and win in style

Exeter Chiefs' push for a top-four finish in the Gallagher PREM looked to be on track as they dominated the first half, but Harlequins produced 27 unanswered points after the break to celebrate victory at the Big Summer Kick-Off.

In a quintessential game of two halves, Exeter dominated the first 40 minutes with Campbell Ridl, Stephen Varney, Max Norey and Len Ikitau all scoring tries to quieten the home crowd at Twickenham.

Jack Kenningham scored one try against the run of play before Marcus Smith set up Luke Northmore for a score on his 100th appearance to keep the hosts in touch going into the second half.

Early in the second half, Cadan Murley scored the crucial next try and then Quins had to be resolute in defence, with Joseph Dweba stopped millimetres from the line.

An inspired run by Jamie Benson set up a try for replacement Will Porter to level the scores and then, after Smith's penalty put them in front for the first time, a trip by Bachuki Tchumbadze saw them gain a man advantage and soon afterwards Will Evans scored in the right corner. The game then ended with an intercept try from Boris Wenger to send the crowd into delirium.

Quins rise, for the moment at least, up to eighth in the table, while Exeter are in danger of slipping out of the top four, lying five points in front of fifth-placed Bristol.

The Quins are a different beast at the Big Summer Kick-Off.

Smith kicks over to add relish to the scoreline.

What a way to end with a try from Wenger! He reads the pass from his opponent and runs in under the posts.

And surely that is now the end of the match. What a turnaround.

The lead is now ten in the hosts' favour.

Quins are stopped twice on the line before Smith passes wide for Evans to score in the corner.

But replays show he was tripped by Tchumbadze, so he gets a yellow card and it is a penalty to Quins - and they kick to the corner.

Ridle takes a mark in his own 22 and then his kick barely gets beyond the line.

Smith kicks his side in front and the crowd rise to their feet.

Quins have a chance to kick for goal and take the lead now.

A tough kick from the touchline goes just wide of the far post.

Murley holds off a tackle and flicks back to Benson who weaves through a gap and draws the last defender before passing inside to Porter who arrows for the corner.

Maybe millimetres. The Quins then hold Exeter up over the line. Great defence.

But a penalty for coming around the ruck means they have to face another line out from near the corner flag.

They have a line out 10m out to try to extend their lead back to double figures.

Not a bad man to run against a tired defence in the last 20 minutes or so.

He chases a long kick forward but collects Benson while the ball was in the air.

Smith misses the kick from the touchline.

We do have a game! It began with a fine run from Anderson traversing in midfield and then breaking the line and running to the 22. A couple of phases later, the ball was then played wide and Murley ran in.
