MAN OF THE MATCH MARCUS SMITH SPOKE TO TNT SPORTS
"We're the lucky ones to be able to play at Twickenham in front of all our friends and family," Smith said.
"We spoke all week about trying to entertain and I thought we did that in parts. Gloucester as well scored some brilliant tries and I thought it was a great spectacle for rugby."
FULL TIME
FITTING WAY TO END
Gloucester had the ball at the end of the match with a chance to win but Smith stole the ball to end the game.

CARE GOES OFF TO A BIG OVATION
He scored his 85th Premiership try and his 5th in a Big Game.
63'
LITTLE SIGN OF GLOUCESTER GETTING BACK INTO GAME
The Quins are happy to slow the game down and the kicking of their half back pairing keeps the game on their terms.
59'
WHAT AT TACKLE FROM DAVID!
It looked like Thorley was set to score in the corner but David with a perfect tap tackle puts him on the deck and then Esterhuizen helps out to ensure he could not score after getting up.
58'
LEWIS COMES ON FOR COLLIER
Quins take their prop off.

Smith puts the ball over the posts to make it a 15-point lead.
55'
CARE SCORES FOR QUINS!
The man who has played in all 15 Big Games gets a try under the posts. It was set up by another 50-22 from Smith, then Esterhuizen bashed would-be tacklers back and Care uses his forwards as a decoy before diving over.

HARLEQUINS 22-14 GLOUCESTER
Another conversion from a tight angle from Hastings puts the West Country side back in touch.

TRY FOR HARLEQUINS - BUT AT A COST!
A fantastic try from Lamb-Cona as Dombrandt with great hands sets free his fellow back rower to dive over in the left corner. The collision before the score has forced the try scorer off though. Esterhuizen's pass to Dombrandt looked forward but the TMO said they couldn't overturn it.

QUINS GET THE SECOND HALF UNDERWAY
