Harlequins needed a win to qualify for the Investec Champions Cup Top 16 and did exactly that, beating Glasgow Warriors 24-07.
Chandler Cunningham-South powered over to open the scoring for Harlequins as they welcomed Glasgow Warriors to The Stoop.
Just six minutes later James Chisholm finished a flowing move with some raw power on his first start at lock.
Warriors hit back just before the half-hour mark with a slick score from Tom Jordan after countless offloads, leaving it 17-07 to the hosts at the halftime break.
In a cagey second half, a try from Cadan Murley was enough to see Harlequins take the win over Glasgow Warriors and secure their place in the knockouts.
Tries in the first half from Chandler Cunningham-South and James Chisholm gave the hosts a half-time lead despite the Warriors hitting back through Tom Jordan.
But Murley raced clear down the right 67 minutes in to quell any hopes of a Glasgow comeback and help Harlequins run out 24-07 winners.
Scorers:
Harlequins: Tries: Chandler Cunningham-South, James Chisholm, Cadan Murley. Conversions: Marcus Smith (3). Penalty: Marcus Smith.
