The big bad wolf of the Gallagher Premiership is well and truly back.
Battling back from a 17 – 0 hole, Sarries flummoxed Quins to emerge with a tight 30 – 27 as they get one over their crosstown rivals.
Wing Cadan Murley got Quins off to a flying start with two tries in ten minutes with Tommaso Allan adding two conversions and a penalty.
Sarries would bring the contest back to 17 – 12 with Elliot Daly and Max Malins both getting over for well taken scores.
Joe Marchant closed the half out on a strong note for Quins as he got in on the try scoring action which put the home side ahead 24 – 12 at half time.
In a topsy turvy second half Malins crossed for his second before Nick Tompkins got Sarries in front for the first time in the 61st minute.
All brought the scores level 27 – 27 before Daly nudged Sarries back in front with 14 minutes left to play which proved to be the winning score.
