Full 15-a-side games

We scored four or more tries in 14 of the 16 games. If this were a league we would have got 14 try-scoring bonus points.

In all, we scored nearly five times as many tries and five times as many points as our opponents.

More than half our tries were converted. Our opponents converted a quarter of theirs.
