Some great performances but Wheatley will feel a little frustrated they couldn't put Chippy to the sward with a couple more tries, a couple of injury concerns moving forward with the Moose suffering from his dislocated elbow and impressive newcomer Zach Guyer also limping off in the first half. That said Keiran Coster impressed from the bench with Harry Walker filling in at centre seamlessly.
