• Xavier Coates clinched the win by out-leaping Zac Lomax for the decisive try with 10 minutes remaining.
• Stefano Utoikamanu’s line-breaking run, which saw him bump off four defenders, set the stage for Coates’s late try.

• Craig Bellamy pointed to undisciplined lapses and stressed that tightening up will be vital as the team prepares for its remaining fixtures.
