Late Sale penalty try continues Harlequins woes

Harlequins' poor start to the Prem season continued with a third successive loss of the campaign against Sale at CorpAcq Stadium. The Sharks came from behind to win the game with a 73rd-minute penalty try after the returning Marcus Smith had touched down twice in the opening quarter to give Quins an early lead. After their opening-day reverse to Bristol at home, Sale have bounced back strongly with back-to-back wins over Saracens and Quins. Despite their first points of the season, the loss leaves Quins rooted to the foot of the table.
