Harlequins ran in eight tries to move top of the Women's Premiership with a commanding win over Leicester Tigers at Twickenham.

Tries from Claudia Pena, Connie and Kayleigh Powell and Lisa Neumann secured the bonus point for Quins in the first half after Meg Jones had given Tigers the visitors at the national stadium.

Second-half scores from substitute Carys Phillips and two from world player of the year Ellie Kildunne secured a win that moves Harlequins two points clear at the table summit.

Tigers, who had Meg Jones and Julia Omokhuale sent to the sin-bin during the match, failed to secure a losing bonus point despite Keia Mae Sagapolu Sanele's late try.
