Harlequins Clinch Bonus-Point Victory Against Newcastle.

Harlequins scored four tries to earn a dominant bonus-point win over Newcastle Falcons, marking their first Premiership victory of the season.

John Hawkins put Newcastle ahead early at the Stoop, but Harlequins quickly turned the game around. 

Tries from Nathan Jibulu, Will Evans, and a pinpoint finish by Leigh Halfpenny saw Quins surge to a 21-7 lead by halftime.

After the break, Will Porter capped off a brilliant team move to lock in the bonus point. 

Although Nathan Redshaw came off the bench to score for Newcastle, it wasn’t enough to change the momentum. 

The Falcons, still searching for their first win of the season, extended their winless streak, having also lost every match last season.
