London Scottish continue to climb the table with an impressive 39-14 victory over Hartpury as they move up to seventh in the Championship, overtaking Doncaster in the process. Six tries and a bonus point to boot, something has started to click in West London as London Scottish extended their winning run!

Things, however, started much more brightly for the away side as Scottish ill discipline allowed Hartpury to get a line out 5m out from their line. With a much celebrated maul, Hartpury went straight to the tight and although Scottish were able to stop the initial surge, could not prevent a secondary effort and conceded the first try of the game.

However, the Scots would quickly hit back with a beautiful move up the middle. Finished by Roma Zheng after some sensational offloading from Will Trenholm and Robbie McCallum. They followed this one up with second shortly after, this time from Jonah Holmes who dived on a loose ball in the corner to take the lead for his side.

A third from Zheng quickly followed as Scottish took advantage of some quick ball which left Hartpury short on the edge. The winger would dot down for a simple score. Hartpury hit back through just before the break. Bringing the driving maul back into play and scoring in the corner.

However, Scottish would have the final say of the half. With some great play up the left hand side from Holmes and Zheng, Scottish then switched it back to the right where they found Ioan Rhys Davies and Zach Carr who linked up beautifully for the latter to dot down and secure the bonus point.

Scottish with the lead at the break knew they would have to keep their foot down to put away their opponents and did just that. Hayden Hyde stabbed in a brilliant kick off turnover ball and Roma Zheng chased it down to finish in the corner securing his hattrick in the process.

The Exiles continued the onslaught with a six try this time from Zach Carr who ran half the length of the field off a charge down to secure the victory. A final minute penalty from Alec Lloyd-Seed added further gloss to what was a near perfect performance from the Exiles.
