Though the Exiles lost 23-7, the try count was one apiece and the Exiles try was the best phase of rugby in the game with three of the side's former Ireland internationals - Matt O'Regan, an Ireland Under-19 last season, Tom Burns and Matthew Betty, who were both capped at Under-18 level in 2006 - linking, handling and running with style for Betty to score.
Out-half Elliott O'Brien, another former Ireland U-18 international and undoubtedly the Exiles' man of the match, converted the try.
The next Exiles fixture is this coming Sunday, November 4, versus the Welsh Exiles at Under-18 level, at St. Mary's University College, Twickenham (kick-off 2pm).
