Scottish centre Chris Dean did the honor of scoring the first try of the match on the 22nd minute with fly-half Duncan Weir successfully managing to add the extras.

Immediately after the start of the second-half, replacement flanker Conor Oliver scored a try for the hosts on the 41st minute. Bleyendaal added the extras.
