Harlequins edged out Worcester by 30-23 in a terrific game at the Sixways Stadium in the Guinness Premiership.

Despite a strong start from the home team, Harlequins hit-back with three tries in almost as many minutes.

Ugo Monye, Gonzalo Tiesi and Mike Brown all crossed within minutes of each other, to more than cancel out Matthew Jones' early drop-goal for Worcester.

Both sides were playing attacking, exciting rugby and Jones got back in the game when he crossed in the 27th minute.

Monye got his second to keep Quins in a commanding position going into the interval.

Worcester upped their game in the second period and when Miles Benjamin crossed shortly after the restart it looked like they could produce a great comeback.

But Quins held on for a narrow, but deserved win.
