Cadan Murley 'had no right scoring this try!' and Tabai Matson couldn't believe that he did
- 2114
Harlequins battled to a 35-29 victory over Northampton Saints in the Premiership on Sunday in yet another thrilling fixture between the two sides.
Cadan Murley played a key role in the win for Harlequins scoring a magnificent try in the 63rd minute.
Harlequins raced into a 21-3 lead before Saints wrestled their way back into the fixture to trail 28-15 after 60 minutes.
The momentum was with the visitors as they looked to cut the deficit only for Will Evans to win a penalty on the halfway line.
Danny Care took the penalty quickly and spread the ball out to Joe Marchant, he had Murley tearing down the touchline outside of him and got the pass out to the winger.
Murley sped past Alex Coles, fended off Tommy Freeman and evaded a last-ditch tackle from Fraser Dingwall before producing a brilliant acrobatic finish in the corner.
That is some finish from Cadan Murley! 😮💨

Harlequins coach Tabai Matson couldn't believe that he scored the try.
"I didn't think he was going to get there, it showed all his class and athleticism. He put the hammer down, he snuck through a couple of defenders and I didn’t think he was going to get through." Matson told BT Sport after the match.
