Rishies continued their dominance with a fine 50-22 kick from Josh Kelly and after a couple of phases from the lineout the ball came out for centre

Doug Heseltine to touch down. Kelly added the conversion.

A line break by lock James McHugh then saw the ball come out to Heseltine, who threw a double dummy to carve through and score. Kelly added the conversion.
