- Pool A: Harlequins 39-29 Sharks
- David scores standout try in much-needed victory
Harlequins secured their place in the Champions Cup knockout stages in considerable style, chalking up a first victory of 2023 and giving a demonstration of what England are set to gain with Nick Evans now turning his attentions to running their attack.
Nick David was the standout performer against the Sharks, scoring the pick of Harlequins’ five tries in a fine showing orchestrated by Evans, who on Sunday joins up with England as attack coach. He will be joined by Marcus Smith, who impressed in his second match since injury to offer a glimpse of how England’s attack may function against Scotland next month.
