Results and fixtures edit

Super League XV edit

Round 3 edit

Harlequins10–18 Wakefield Trinity Wildcats

Quins season got off to a disappointing start with defeat to Wakefield at home in a scrappy, penalty-ridden game. Daryl Millard put the away side in the lead on the 12th minute, but Ben Jones-Bishop got Quins back in the game with an unconverted score. The game continued its "you score, we score" pattern as Ben Jeffries and Jones-Bishop exchanged scores, but it was up to young winger Aaron Murphy to settle matters in the 56th minute. Both sides ended the game with 12 men as Louis McCarthy-Scarsbrook and Richard Moore were sent off for fighting.[1]
