The match, held at Plymstock, showcased a high level of skill and competition from both teams.

The game was tightly contested throughout, with neither side able to pull ahead by the final whistle. According to the rules governing the match, the tiebreaker focused first on the number of tries each team scored, followed by conversions and then penalties. Remarkably, both teams were equal in all these aspects, leading to the rare invocation of the rule that awards the victory to the visiting team in such scenarios.
