THE in-form Cornish All Blacks chalked up eight tries in their 50-18 victory, but their hat-trick hero Jon Fabian still believes his side have more to give.

The All Blacks' full-back says his side's fourth National League One victory in a row was far from 80 minutes of pure domination despite the size of the winning margin by the end.

"It was a tough day," said Fabian. "We started off particularly well in the first 15 to 20 minutes, we got a couple of scores in early but we backed off the pace and let them back into it during the second part of the first half.

"We played the ball too wide at times and played in the wrong areas. But the boys worked really hard and rallied with the wind in the second half and we came up really good winners in the end."

Fabian stole the headlines with his three tries, but there were many excellent performances in black shirts. Ryan Westren, Sam Hocking, Kieron Lewitt, Steve Perry and Tim Mathias were also on the scoresheet.

Fabian was particularly impressed by the forwards' performances. He said: "Bryn Jenkins, especially, played really well. He stole a lot of line-out ball and was a constant threat going forward. Sam Hocking was his usual dynamic self, but generally I thought we played well all over the pitch."

Second-half replacement prop Mathias got in on the try-scoring act with an outstanding solo run towards the end of the game.

"Tim's quicker than he looks," said Fabian. "He's a big burly prop but he's actually got a turn of pace. He saw the gap and produced a bit of a sidestep as well.

"There were lots of people worthy of the man-of-the-match award, I was just in the right place at the right time. It might cost me a forfeit of some beers somewhere on an away trip, but it's OK. The last time I scored a hat-trick was Waterloo away last season. I always seen to score against Otley and Waterloo, I don't know why."

Fabian, 33, showed his class and experience for his second try – picking off Otley fly-half James Murray's pass – before running all the way to the try-line. "I've got long legs and once they get going they hard to stop," Fabian said after one or two age-related jibes from his team-mates.

The All Blacks' team spirit will be tested over the coming weeks by challenging fixtures against Esher, London Scottish and Redruth. However, Fabian says the Launceston men have nothing to fear.

"We've got a couple of things to put right," he said. "Our defence at times was fantastic and our individual tackles were very good. But we lost our shape a couple of times – we've got to put that right. If we put both facets together, we'll go into these games with confidence."
