Banbury began the match playing like a team who hadn't met each other before, nor played rugby union, but Stags did not take advantage of the huge amount of easy ball they were afforded. A single Charlie Cook penalty was all the visitors had to show for their dominance.
Inevitably, the hosts began to improve and Stags took their turn to look clueless, shipping 13 points to trail by 10 at the interval.
