Falcons full-back Greg Goosen scored a hat-trick for the hosts who dominated throughout.

Mark Wilson opened the scoring after two minutes followed by Goosen’s first.  He then went onto score another two tries, one either side of half-time before Michael Mayhew’s touchdown.

All the Blues had to show for their efforts was a solitary Rhys Patchell penalty.
