Gloucester thrashed a limp Harlequins at Kingsholm to go to the top of the early Prem standings.

The Cherry and Whites ran in eight tries to make it two wins from two in the league and three on the bounce in all competitions.

Gloucester, who named three new signings in their starting line-up including Wales internationals Jac Morgan and Dewi Lake, completely outplayed their opponents in all facets of the match.

Visitors Quins, who handed a debut to England full-back George Furbank, struggled to get a handle on the game from the outset and remain bottom of the table without any points after failing to get on the scoreboard.
