Premiership Rugby Cup Highlights: Harlequins v Newcastle Falcons

In what proved to be a close encounter in our Week 2 Premiership Rugby Cup, Newcastle has edged Harlequins by 2 points winning 21-23. From the kick off whistle both teams struggled to break each other down and take control of the match. The visitors went into the break 6-13 in front through a Bettencourt try before the break. Stevenson extended the away sides lead with a try 10min after the interval but Harlequins worked hard to stay in the match with 2 quick tries from Dombrandt and Boyce. Catrakillis had a chance to win it for his side with 3min left of the match but his kick was just short and ultimately handing victory to Newcastle who will be delighted with a hard fought win.
