Callum Sheedy’s conversion with the last kick of the game gave Bristol Bears a dramatic win over Harlequins.
Dave Attwood, Fitz Harding and Piers O’Conor scored first-half tries for the Premiership leaders with Quins replying through a penalty try and Danny Care.
Care’s drop goal and a Joe Marchant try put the visitors 12 points ahead with only 13 minutes remaining.
But a penalty try and Kyle Sinckler’s last-minute score set the stage for Sheedy’s expertly-taken winning kick.
