Harlequins v Exeter - HIGHLIGHTS | Marcus Smith Shines at HQ! | Gallagher Premiership 2022/23



Lorde, former Chief, Smith, Kicks, little chase for Esther Hazen and Mrs Merley. And that should be goodbye. Great chase from Arge, he wasn't far away. The battle of the speech, there's one by Kaden Merley, ten Premiership tries this season. None have been greeted with more noise than this one. He knows, that's an assist for Marcus Smith, Steve Forthwick, are you watching? He's been trapped in by players, the board is available. Asking the question.

And then the charge through it. Cio not far away. It's a turnover, it's a grab. And Lorde's kick. And the hodge with space to move into and. Not creator of space, Josh Hodg. And then it's a Quinn's penalty.

And the defensive job complete. That's it. Harvey Skinner, who's a tall fly half, head to head with James Chisholm. It's a third yellow card of the season. I don't see him as being active in the tackle. Harvey Skinner. So it's an entry point at yellow with no mitigation.

But it is in the red ukes. Kev. Esther Hazen. Oh, that's nice. And this is Bassett, huge hole, big try. Oh, no. Well, did he get it down? We will have to have another look at that.

Bassett's celebrations suggest he has no concerns. Try it, Kev. Nothing wrong with that. Fakes a bet for the yellow card by getting on the scoresheet. Stefan Levis, the captain's stretching highest. David Jenkins, a spectator for the time being. Kev goes on his own, he's got a long way to go, and he hooks it back in brilliantly.

Try score. How long's he been on the pitch? Oh, he's only been a Twickenham player for about five seconds, and he may well have scored the try. Let's have another look at this. Does he stay in the field of play? There, nothing wrong with the hand-off on Woodburn. That's absolutely fine. What a lovely piece of skill that is. And that's Sam Reilly's first Premiership try.

You can see it there. Four entries, 19 points is remarkable. Smith. Marchant. And David. And that's it. Back to Smith.

Oh, this is glorious, and this is Marchant. And this is Harlequin's at their multi-coloured bets. Twickenham bringing the absolute best out of this side. One, two, three, four tries. And we've played a little more than half an hour. Simmons brings it down. Still moving.

And look, a straight at the back of that more than his red boots. The Mulein in the middle of it, still going on. Driving to the line, and this has to be a try. And for the first time this evening through Jack Inard, Exeter on the board. My goodness, they needed that, and they've got it nice and early in this second half. We know that Exeter at RAT will just go through the phases, through the phases, but having absorbed that pressure in the only 10 minutes of this second half, Quintains have now had that little bit of possession themselves, and that's when they can dictate the tempo of this game. Luke Northmore's on.

Here he is. Immediately warming his hands. Smith, David, bit of pace about this again, and Marchant's on the wing. Joe Marchant recently installed as the winger. Found by David, Danny Kair, and again, Northmore. What a take. Kair, chipped through, chased by Merley, chased by Marchant.

Maybe that's it. Just try. Wonderful piece of skill, not just from Kair, from several Harlequist players. That was a real team try. It's a brilliant team try. If you kick in the 22, you have to score. Danny Kair's one of the best of sisters, I think we've seen in the previous year.

He knows it. Just a little nod, a little weak there. Quint going for another try now. Lineout taken by Levis, Sam Riley tucking himself back in. Just that in control. Just needs to make sure he keeps the ball available there. No, Levis.

Over the line, scores. Not so long ago, counting balls. Now scoring with one of them. And that is it. Absolutely and utterly the end of the conversation. Half a dozen tries in their big game for Harlequins. The sixth scored by the skipper.

Well, it was all very spectacular pre-match. And Marcus Smith leads Quint Celebration's post-match in between. Very, very impressive from the Londoners. Their biggest ever win against Exeter. Their biggest win for a couple of years in the Premiership. It's a grisly old evening for the Chiefs, but they will still feel, they are still very much in the playoff chase. But this, a huge win for Quint.

They've ended their long, depressing, losing streak with a win that puts them slap back in the middle of the picture again as well. APPLAUSE.
