2. Reuben Allen - 7
A little suspect with his kicking in the first-half, but commanded his area superbly, coming off his line well. Largely faultless handling too. | Graham Hunt/ProSportsImages
3. Max Hammond - 7
Energetic and lively display from right-back and an absolute terrier, nipping away at attackers. Fine showing. | Graham Hunt/ProSportsImages
4. George Tregunna - 7
Strong and powerful defensively. An absolute rock in the centre of defence, barely putting a foot wrong. | Graham Hunt/ProSportsImages
