RBS Rugby Premiership: Heriot's 40 HERIOT'S backed up their heroics last weekend against Melrose with another inspired performance against Dundee at Goldenacre yesterday, scoring five of the game's eight tries and thoroughly deserving their bonus-point win. Scorers: Heriot's: Tries: F Brown, Turley, Penn, Teague, Wilson. Cons: Wilson 3. Pens: Wilson 3. Dundee HSFP: Tries: A Brown, McIvor, Steele. Cons: Steele 2. Pens: Steele 2. Ignore the final score, this was a close-run thing because with seven minutes left on the clock there was just one point separating the two sides. That was when Dundee flanker Danny Levison saw yellow for talking back to the referee, Marc Teague scored under the posts and Graham Wilson finished off a length-of-the-field score to round the game off in style. This was a topsy-turvy encounter from the off. Heriot's raced into a commanding lead thanks to three early tries and at 17-3 up Dundee had hardly laid a finger on the home runners or the ball. Openside flanker Fraser Brown was put over in the left-hand corner, blindside flanker Jack Turley muscled his way over the line in the opposite corner and full-back Mike Penn found himself on the end of a flowing move to grab the third for Heriot's. Dundee finally woke up and not before time. The burly figure of Alan Brown crashed over in the corner and would have splintered the corner flag if they were still made of wood. Heriot's fans were calling for a TMO judgment but, without the aid of technology, the referee had to content himself with a nod from his touch judge. Andy McLean proved a handful throughout and the leggy winger made the next score when his charge up the middle allowed flanker Richie McIvor to take a pass off his stand-off's shoulder for Dundee's second try. As a match it was more entertaining than skilful, with both sides squandering possession like the ball was a hand grenade. Kick-offs sailed straight into touch, knock-ons were a core skill and tackling an optional extra. It was end-to-end stuff but it wasn't the highest quality club game and if the two teams had been as committed to defence as they obviously were to attack we might have had a classic. After the fireworks of the first half with the scores at 17-15 the game entered a stalemate after the break when neither side could hold on to the ball long enough to score, although home winger Colin Goudie should have done better with what should have been a scoring pass to Oliver Brown. Heriot's skipper Wilson eventually broke the deadlock with two penalties in as many minutes as Dundee were forced to infringe at the breakdown. The visitors stuck back even as the Heriot's players were still congratulating each other. The Dundee forwards went on a rumble, inside centre Colin Strachan carried the ball to the line and stand-off Stewart Walker found enough space to squeeze over. Steele converted that one and added another penalty just moments later to give Dundee the lead for the first time on 65 minutes. It didn't last long. Wilson countered with his third penalty to regain the lead and the home side were unstoppable with Dundee reduced to 14 players. Heriot's took full advantage of the extra man with two more touchdowns, saving the best to last.
