Mike Brown has hailed the Harlequins defence following their 14-6 win over Bath this afternoon.

The hosts, who held their opponents to a pair of first-half penalties, were able to go the entire second half without conceding a single point against a Bath team that were in the middle of their most successful run of the season.

"We dug in deep at the end," he told ESPN. "We knew it would be a tough game, so we're glad to get the win.

"We've got a good defence. We were getting off the line hard, which stopped them. We kept going until the end and we got the score, which was good.

"It was brilliant to get back out with the lads. I loved training this week in the sun and it was good to get back out on the Stoop."

Quins are now three points clear at the top of the Aviva Premiership.
