Fresh from his man-of-the-match display in the National Cup success at home to Windsor, there were a series of strong carries and ferocious defence from No.8 Tegan Strydom.

Elsewhere in the forwards, hooker Oliver Preston was a handful in the loose and threw well into the line-out.

Colts captain and scrum-half Elliott Jones produced some quality service and touched down late on, while there was composure and counter-attacking from full back Jordan Navetta and a great individual try from wing Josh Gouws.

The fixture was part of the South West England trials held at Hartpury, with the next test a tough one against Devon on Sunday, December 7.
