Harlequins moved up to third in the Premiership Women's Rugby table with a 34-19 win at Bristol Bears.

After Millie David's try had given the hosts an early lead, Harlequins battled back to lead 20-19 at the end of a tight first half with tries from Lauren Torley and Ellie Kildunne.

There was little to separate the two sides after the break until the visitors finally broke down the Bristol defence with a Carys Phillips try.

It moved Quins 27-19 up and they wrapped up the win when Alex Callender crossed and Lagi Tuima added the conversion.

The victory was Harlequins' third in the early stages of this season and moved them above Bristol Bears.
