"England fly-half Marcus Smith marked his Prem return with 15 of Harlequins' 20 points in a narrow victory over local rivals Saracens at The Stoop. Smith's early try set Quins on the way to their first league win of the season, while the 26-year-old's kicking game troubled Saracens throughout. Fergus Burke's superb score ensured Sarries trailed by only three points at half-time, but that deficit was stretched to 10 points when Tyrone Green went over in the first minute of the second half."
"Owen Farrell created and converted a Ben Earl try to give Saracens hope but, after starting their campaign with two bonus-point wins, they fell to a first Prem defeat of the season. More to follow. Harlequins: T Green; Isgro, Beard, Benson, Murley (capt); Smith, Porter; Baxter, Walker, Williams, Petti, Treadwell, Kenningham, Evans, Cunningham-South. Replacements: Turner, Wenger, Delgado, J Green, Carr, Dombrandt, Townsend, Kerr."
