BT Premiership champions Ayr clicked into gear to boost their title defence and inflict a first defeat of the campaign on Currie Chieftains whose second half fightback was not sufficient to take anything from the game.

Despite conceding two late tries, it was an impressive all round performance by the Millbrae men, who combined power and flair to take the win and stifle the home side’s attempts to play running rugby.
