Tim Visser try helps Harlequins to three wins from four

Harlequins 16 Sale Sharks 14

Tim Visser’s second-half try helped Harlequins to a third Premiership win in four games as they edged past a dogged Sale Sharks side 16-14 at the Twickenham Stoop.

Sale that took the lead in the 18th minute as Cipriani put up a high ball that Visser spilt – Sharks captain Braid pouncing on the winger’s error to bundle himself over from five metres out. From the resulting catch-and-drive, the home side were rewarded with a penalty, which Evans stroked over to make the score 7-3.
