The crowd for 'Big Game 4', which defending Premiership champions Saracens won 19-11, beat the previous record of 79,842 that watched Stade Francais v Clermont Auvergne in the French Top 14 on April 4, 2009.

Today's attendance, confirmed by both the Rugby Football Union and Harlequins, was also the biggest ever for a Premiership match of any sort, beating the 81,601 who packed into Twickenham for the 2009 Premiership final between Leicester and London Irish.
