Care progressed through the ranks at Leeds' academy before joining Quins in 2006 and has finally ousted Andy Gomarsall as the London club's established scrum-half.

The Leeds-born half-back played a prominent role against his former employers, combining effectively with fly-half Adrian Jarvis and scoring a 52nd-minute try before departing to warm applause shortly after the hour mark.

The match was finely poised at 11-3 in Quins' favour at half-time but the visitors moved through the gears after the break to register tries from Care, Jim Evans and captain Will Skinner to add to Mike Brown's first-half opener and earn a bonus point.

Newcastle's poor league form continued as London Irish kept alive their slim hopes of a play-off place with a 13-8 win at Kingston Park.

A penalty from Peter Hewat and a try from Declan Danaher put the Exiles into a deserved 8-0 lead.

Danaher added his second score and, despite Jonny Wilkinson kicking a penalty and Tom Visser going over for a late try, there was to be no comeback for the Falcons.

Newcastle were also dealt another blow as they lost Jonny Wilkinson with a worrying neck injury.

Wilkinson was left prone after a heavy tackle in midfield and while he was able to resume after treatment, eventually left the field with 12 minutes to play.
