Shore prop Felix Harvison charged down a Scots’ clearance kick and scored late in a 33-29 victory to help Shore win its first outright GPS premiership since 1969.

Needing a victory to guarantee the outright title, Shore conceded a try to Scots in the 60th minute but fought back to seal the side’s sixth straight win and the GPS title.

“That finish wasn’t good for the nerves, that’s for sure,” first XV coach Angus Sinclair told Rugby News.

“It showed the character of the team though. We knew Scots were a dangerous team who were going to give it everything in their last game of the season, at home on Old Boys Day.

“We were probably a little bit off, but we fought really hard and that’s been the story of our season.

“Then to win at the end with a charge down. We talk a lot about NTR’s - No Talent Required - actions and that is one of those that we’ve tried to define ourselves by as a team.”
