Matthew Elliott scored for Inst, before half time<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the 2 remaining minutes of the half Inst conjured up 2 tries from Jonah Power<\/strong> and Matthew Elliott<\/strong>. Power added a conversion to put Inst up 33-5 at halftime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the break, playing into the wind Elliot added a 34th<\/sup> minute try, converted by Power to move Inst out to 40-5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Playing with the wind, BRA managed territory and possession and forced Inst back. Agbonkpolor added a 2nd<\/sup> try from close range to pull BRA back to 10-40.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luke McCausland<\/strong>\u2019s 46th<\/sup> minute try, followed by Morrow hat trick try, on 50 minutes, coupled with a pair of Morrow conversions, moved Inst out to 54-10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRA battled back and had the last say when Agbonkpolor collected his hat trick try in the final move of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inst were well worth their 54-17 win and look forward to their last group stage match, against Campbell College next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
