038 - This is getting serious as Tyler charges on like a demented wildebeest

064 - he takes on the Ruislip forwards
065 - and leaves them for dead
066 - but the out half and centre bring his run to an end
067 - a clever chip through causes the Ruislip full back and winger an anxious moment as it wobbles towards the try line and Ben looms

081 - Ben takes the kick

127 - Did you enjoy that. YES, and all with 13 men!
