Harlequins ran in eight tries to move top of the Women's Premiership with a commanding win over Leicester Tigers at Twickenham.
Second-half scores from substitute Carys Phillips and two from world player of the year Ellie Kildunne secured a win that moves Harlequins two points clear at the table summit. The event was again a sell-out and though it was by no means full ahead of the men's match between the two clubs due to follow, those who had taken their seats for the opening match were treated to a highly entertaining advert for the women's game ahead of next year's World Cup.
