Bristol produced a scintillating attacking display to hammer Harlequins 40-14 under the lights at Twickenham Stadium.
In Quins’ annual ‘Big Game’, it was the Bears who came out on top as they ran in six tries and won by 26 points.
Unanswered scores from Kalaveti Ravouvou, Joe Batley, Gabriel Oghre and Louis Rees-Zammit gave the visitors a ruthless 26-0 lead at the break against a Harlequins side that had at times produced some good rugby themselves.
Santiago Grondona added another before Quins finally got on the board through Rodrigo Isgro, when the Bears were down to 14 with Tom Jordan in the sin-bin.
England international prop Ellis Genge then scored a stunning 50m try before his Red Rose teammate scored a consolation for Quins, as the Bears styled out a stunning win at the national stadium.
