Northampton ran in seven tries to ease to victory over Harlequins and go top of Pool C in the Premiership Rugby Cup.

Cassius Cleaves gave Quins an early lead but Saints then took charge.

Tom Collins scored twice and Kayde Sylvester, Angus Scott-Young, George Hendy and Tom Lockett also touched down as Saints led 42-19 at half-time.

Tom James added their seventh try, while Conor Oresanya and Will Edwards both scored twice for Quins to give the scoreline some respectability.

Northampton, who beat Saracens 58-34 in the competition last week, climb two points above London Irish, who have won both of the games so far, at the top of pool, albeit having played a game more.
