Cozens urges Clifton to turn it on for the full 80

The hosts were fully in control of the match for the opening 60 minutes, but allowed their opponents to snatch a try bonus point with two tries in the closing six minutes.

Cozens said: "It was great to win and we were dominant for the first 60 minutes.
