Handre Pollard's last minute conversion via the post rescued a fascinating Premiership draw for Leicester Tigers against Harlequins at Twickenham.

Quins looked like they were on their way to a narrow victory before Tigers substitute Dan Cole touched the ball down over the line to set-up Pollard's game-saving kick to level the match.

The hosts had taken a narrow one-point lead into the break after a frenetic first half in which the lead changed hands four times.

Cadan Murley's 66th-minute try looked to have secured the points for Quins but both teams will walk away with a share of the spoils and a bonus point for each scoring four tries.
