- Mike Brown try sends Quins to ninth straight victory
Top of the table, Harlequins would look to maintain their position but a powerful Exeter side stood in their way and they didn't make it easy for the home side.
Harlquins led 9-0 at half time after 3 penalties from the boot of fly-half, Nick Evans. But the heavy scoreline didn't reflect Exeter's play and they were never dominated by Quins and they were unlucky not to have more points after two strong attempts at the opposition try line.
Rennie scored the crucial try to give Exeter the lead. On top of 2 Mieres penalties, the visitors lead by 4 points.
However, the Harlequins pack knew they had to come back from George Robson's sinbinning and they did so in style. Mike Brown ploughed through a pile of Exeter defenders to take a victory that would seal a ninth straight victory and keep them at the top of the Aviva Premiership table.
