Grasshoppers were beaten 25-20 at home by Hammersmith & Fulham in a classic game of two halves on Saturday.

Playing down the slope in the first half, Grasshoppers led 20-0 at one stage thanks to tries from Matt Nemeth, Ian Macey and Charlie Hacker.

But a converted try by the visitors just before half-time proved crucial and the Hammersmith underlined their top-of-the-table pedigree in the second half.
