Back came the French with an- other Belleau penalty to regain the lead, but then McBryde launched a move from just in front of his own posts that enabled Keelan Giles to speed up the left wing out of his 22 to maximise the space left by the red card shown to his op- posite number. Harrison Keddie was up in sup- port when he was cut down 30 metres out and eventu- ally it was left to replacement prop Leon Brown to throw the try-scoring pass to right wing George Gasson to complete an 80-metre score. It was a sensational effort which McBryde improved to open up a six-point gap. The fly-half had a chance to drive a final nail in the French coffin with a 75th minute pen- alty, but this time he was wide.
