Their hunt for a semi-final spot is now alive and kicking.

The Panne dotted down seven times on the day with hooker Jonathan Harding crossing the whitewash three times for a superb forward’s hat-trick.
The other tries were scored by winger Danie Hatting, eighth man and captain Reg Muller and PJ Beukes who scored a brace of tries.
