Record crowd at London derby

[beige]

Tuesday's English Premiership match between London rivals Harlequins and Saracens set a new world attendance record for a regular-season club fixture after 82,000 fans piled into Twickenham.

The crowd figure, confirmed by the Rugby Football Union, surpassed the 79,842 spectators that saw Paris-based Stade Francais play Clermont Auvergne in the French Top 14 on April 4, 2009.

Tuesday's match, won 19-11 by champions Saracens, was also a record for any Premiership fixture, topping the 81,601 at Twickenham for the 2009 Premiership final between Leicester and London Irish.
