Friday Wrap-Up
Aviva Premiership
Harlequins 35-28 Bath
Back to winning ways for Harlequins as they claimed a bonus point win at home to Bath. Quins were on top form in the first half and raced into a 21-6 lead thanks to tries from Sloan and Charlie Walker.
Quins started the second half how they left the first, Walker ran the pitch to score and Horwill added another for the BP.
Bath scored 3 tries in 7 minutes and added a penalty through Homer to secure an unlikely losing BP.
U20 6 Nations
England 16-42 Wales
Wales came away as comfortable victors this evening in Bristol with a dominant performance.
An impressive 6 try performance from the visitors see Wales record a first every victory away to England at U20 level.
An dominant display from Harrison Keddie and the young Welshmen march on as they look to win a Grand Slam next week against Italy.
Ireland 19-13 Italy
Ireland come away with the win after a much improved second half. The first half was as error strewn as they come, both sides struggling to keep ball in hand despite the good playing conditions.
The weather deteriorated in the second half, and ironically, the handling improved massively. Ireland looked by far and away the better side, and the crucial moment of the match came when a Gallagher interception led to a Shane Daly try of real quality.
James Ryan named MOTM.
Scotland 21-34 France
France claimed themselves a 3rd win from 4 games. Antoine Dupont being named as man of the match for a stunning display of quick rugby allowing the French to score 5 tries in tough conditions away from home.
The Scottish held their nerves for the most part of the game clawing back to a 3 points margin but let it slip away from them due to an awkward bounce from the boot of Hastings allowing the French to run the pitch and score at the hands of Judicael Cancoriet.
