    Harlequins took some confidence into match after a good performance against Souths the previous week. Harlequins started with the wind and both teams took a while to settle with neither team taking control. Midway through the first half Emil Vartazarian charged a Wyndham kick down and picked the ball up and off loaded to the ever present Vincent Debard who scored under the posts. Vartazarian converted the try. Vartazarian then also added a penalty. Just before half time Wyndham's centre broke through some weak defence and scored under the posts, which the converted. So Harlequins took a 10-7 lead into the break which didn't seem enough.

    Wyndham added a penalty shortly after have time, before Harlequins replied with tries to Osea Valentini and Martin Richomme, neither was converted to take a 20-10 lead. This sprung Wyndham into life, when they got onto a roll and scored four convert tries in 13 minutes and took control of the game and with only a late try to Harlequins openside Alex Booth meant that Harlequins got a point from the match for scoring four tries. Vartazarian converted the try.
