Harlequins are still waiting for their first win of the season despite battling back to draw 17-17 at Kingston Park last night.

Trailing 14-3 at one stage, it took two late penalties from Nick Evans to salvage a draw, although he also missed a drop goal.

Ugo Monye scored Quins' only try, but head coach John Kingston was encouraged by his team's performance.

I hope people watching are thinking Harlequins are quite a positive side," he said.

"The belief that they have which has been a huge part of what they have achieved last season was all there to see. As far as we are concerned that is a big step forward.

"A draw was the absolute least we deserved without wishing to be rude about the opposition.

"We played some great rugby and we were the better side but it is a draw and it is a start.
