Six tries and eight goals put the home side to the sword as they struggled to compete with the Londoners from the off. The Quins now leapfrog the Robins to keep alive their faint hopes of securing the final play-off spot.

Chad Randall, Will Sharp, Dave Howell, Henry Paul and two penalties from Rob Purdham gave the Quins a 28-0 half-time lead from which Rovers never recovered.

Randall opened the scoring for Harlequins in the sixth minute as he darted for the line following a good spell of possession.

Purdham added the extras and moments later Sharp finished a good Quins move following an attempted interception from Jake Webster.

Harlequins grabbed a third in the 14th minute through Howell, Purdham converted and then struck a penalty to give the Londoners a 20-point lead.

Paul forced his way over in the 28th minute following another sustained period of possession and Webster added to Rovers' woes on the stroke of half-time.

Paul Cooke made his return to the Rovers side following a two-game absence for disciplinary reasons and it made a brief difference as the Robins hit back in the opening minute of the second half through Jon Steel.

Prop Gareth Haggerty dashed any hope of a comeback and Rovers then conceded another soft try as Hill sauntered over the line.

Although Peter Fox and Dobson touched down in the closing stages, it proved too little too late for Rovers.
