Harlequins suffer third straight loss this season

Sale Sharks needed a 78th minute penalty try to secure a bonus point win against Harlequins on Saunday. Sale, who secured their second win of three this season, head into the short Prem Rugby break sitting just under mid table of the English domestic comeptition.

Quins shot out to a 0-10 lead in under 10 minutes and looked to be turning their season around as Marcus Smith was the star for the visitors. Sale got back into the game and trailled 14-17 at the break.

The visistors increased their lead in the second half before Ben Bamber got Sale back in contention and the hosts kept the pressure on forcing Quins to suffer a game defining yellow card and penalty try for dragging down the maul with minutes to play.
