Five minutes into the second half, Chippenham skipper Bobby Lyons was on hand to finish off a flowing move and Taylor converted.

Ten minutes later, scrum-half Lewis Surry danced through the defence for another try before replacement back Kam Vuadrey, who replaced Christian Novik, jinked through for his first try for Chippenham.

With man of the match full-back Sam Saunders prominent in all Chippenham’s attack play, Baptiste added a second score. before centre Rupert Crockett touched down and Taylor converted.
