Overview

• Harlequins secured a narrow 24-22 victory over Exeter Chiefs in Danny Care’s final home game before retirement.
• Care, the club’s all-time leading appearance-maker, entered as a 64th-minute substitute to a standing ovation from the sell-out crowd.
• Marcus Smith delivered a defining performance, scoring a solo try and kicking the late penalty that sealed the win.
• Despite the victory, Harlequins failed to earn the bonus point needed to keep their slim Premiership playoff hopes alive.
• Care, who announced his retirement earlier in the week, reflected on his 19-year career, which included 101 England caps and two Premiership titles.
