Harlequins recover to beat Glasgow in thriller

Hooker Sam Riley scored a late try as Harlequins defeated Glasgow Warriors in a thriller to book their spot in the Investec Champions Cup quarter-finals.

Andre Esterhuizen, Marcus Smith, Cadan Murley all crossed for a 21-7 lead.

Hooker Johnny Matthews and George Horne sparked the game back into life, but Riley responded to hand Harlequins a historic victory.

This was Harlequins' first knockout victory in Europe's top-tier competition. Danny Wilson's side will face Bordeaux Begles or Saracens in the quarter-finals next weekend.

An away win for Saracens on Saturday, who suffered a club record European defeat by Bordeaux during the pool stages, would mean a home tie for Quins in what is their first quarter-final in 11 years.
