Henry Slade proved his fitness ahead of England's Autumn Nations Series opener but could not prevent Exeter from suffering defeat by Harlequins.
Henry Slade proved his fitness ahead of England's Autumn Nations Series opener against New Zealand but could not prevent Exeter from suffering a 36-19 Gallagher Premiership loss to Harlequins. Centre Slade was released early from England's training camp in Girona to make his first appearance since July after undergoing shoulder surgery.
The Chiefs needed a response, and they found it just three minutes later as some impressive approach work posed Quins questions for the first time, and Vintcent touched down, with Slade converting. Back came Quins, though, as they exploited space brilliantly and Isgro ran in from 30 metres, smashing through Olly Woodburn's challenge. Evans' conversion made it 12-7.
