Not at all sure how many first choice players are here, apart from Manu. Bench 2nd row Ewan Johnson has a few Scottish caps, I believe.

A quick Google suggests it's two 19 year olds at half back for Bayonne. There's some talent on the bench but looks like they aren't fussed about the win and are maybe looking for bonus points.

Routine win. Billy Searle 9 min hattrick in the second half. Only downers on the night were an ankle injury for Radwan which meant Tigers played the last 20ish mins with 14 and Steward going off after picking up a knock.

Pearson had some nice touches in his time on the pitch.

He's a classy option even at this young age. I'm hoping he gets a full game down in SA next week to keep building the experience.
Hopefully Wilf McCarthy gets a run out and his debut as well.
