TRY HARLEQUINS. A moment of genius from former All-Black out-half Nick Evans results in the first score of the game. The Kiwi recovers his own cheeky chip and scores under the posts. He adds the extras and it's 7-0.

Irish enjoying the majority of territory early on but yet to make it tell on the score board.

Early scare for Quins with Irish winger Topsy Ojo threatening to score but is forced into touch.

We're off!

Good afternoon and welcome to this all London affair from the Aviva Premiership as Harlequins host London Irish. Travelling Irish have had a difficult season, lying 3rd from bottom in 10th place and last week suffered a heavy defeat at home to Bath. They will look for a big response today. Harlequins have been up and down throughout the year and find themselves in 6th.Like their opponents today they were on the wrong end of a high scoring game against last week in front of record crowd in Wembley and as such will hope to correct that today. Promises to be a keenly contested derby game!
