Danny Care started off the move with a stunning piece of skill on the touchline to keep the ball in play as he found teammate Marcus Smith inside the Quins 22.

From there, Smith made a decisive break from deep, accelerating through the Montpellier defensive line before picking out Cadan Murley who then released Marchant, with the 25-year-old dotting down for his third Heineken Champions Cup try of the season.

Channel 4’s Jamie Heaslip commented: “From start to finish, this simply has to be one of the most spectacular tries of the season. First, Danny Care manages to keep a kick in play with an impressive piece of skill, then Marcus Smith does what Marcus Smith does with some magical footwork to create the opening. Cadan Murley continues the move and straightens things up perfectly before putting Joe Marchant away. Harlequins at their attacking best – just brilliant!”

Marchant’s try won 38% of the public vote with Freddie Steward’s effort for Leicester Tigers in their 27-17 Heineken Champions Cup Round of 16 second leg win over ASM Clermont Auvergne coming in second place after winning 30% of the vote.

Joe Marchant has been named as the winner of the Champions Try of the Round after the Harlequins centre finished off a stunning team score in his side’s Heineken Champions Cup Round of 16 33-20 second leg win over Montpellier Hérault Rugby.
