Full time whistle goes and the hosts Harlequins who win out on a scoreline of 15-7. Newcastle gave a good account of themselves overall and when they took a lead into the break they would have thought that they were in with a chance. However a combination of an improved Quins effort, poor discipline from the Falcons and the impressive kicking form of Swiel meant that the visitors left without even a losing bonus point. We hope you all enjoyed our coverage and we look forward to bringing you more top level rugby.
