Slade's 23 Points Lead Exeter to 38-0 Win Over Harlequins

The shutout lifts Exeter to fourth in the Premiership.

Overview

  • England centre Henry Slade scored two tries and added five conversions and a penalty, with further tries from Immanuel Feyi-Waboso, Harvey Skinner and Greg Fisilau after a pivotal 10-minute first-half burst.
  • Australia internationals Len Ikitau and Tom Hooper made Exeter debuts, with Ikitau supplying Slade’s first try and Hooper involved in the bonus-point score.
  • Exeter dominated possession and territory in windy conditions as Harlequins failed to score in a league match for the first time since December.
  • Harlequins stay third-from-bottom with one win from four fixtures following the comprehensive defeat.
  • Three yellow cards punctuated the second half — to Exeter’s Bachuki Tchumbadze and Quins’ Cadan Murley and Harry Browne — without altering Exeter’s control.
