FORM GUIDE

Harlequins have won their last five Gallagher Premiership Rugby matches since their 12-45 reversal at Sale on 4 June. The Londoners are unbeaten in their last ten contests at the Twickenham Stoop in Premiership Rugby including a run of nine successive victories. The only previous occasion that Harlequins have won nine successive home games in the tournament was in season 2013/14.

Bristol Bears 25-20 win over Bath last Friday ended a three-game losing run in Gallagher Premiership Rugby. The Bears only away win in Premiership Rugby since early May was 26-23 at Leicester in round 21 last season.

The two clubs met on three occasions last season with Bristol taking both fixtures in the regular campaign but Harlequins winning a thrilling semi-final at Ashton Gate 43-36 after extra time. Bristol have won on their last two visits to Twickenham Stoop beating London Irish there in October 2020 and Harlequins on Boxing Day.
