definitely both teams will be itching to get this one underway well it's a full house here and just listen to the noise they're already making they are pumped up there's not a lot between these two teams it could go either way and it really depends on who wants to win more with these two teams and their talent we should be in for a special day this should be a superb game of [Music] rugby we're just waiting for the referee to give us the word and we'll be underway and we are [Applause] underway kickoff dragged down driven hard into the turf I think they still have this one powerful defense short l through to the support play they all have stolen this did well to create the turnover yep totally agree he pushes the pass further wide pass got through the first tackle the right winger puts the foot down nice tackle but not before he made plenty of ground maso picks the ball up [Applause] interception possible turnover here stolen ball turnover good turnover excellent stuff and he's knocked down [Applause] hard the defense preparing themselves here now the kick and Chase Mano Tang is chasing after this what a try and he was smothered by opposition there he's done the right thing there and a good finish gives them the [Applause] points you can see it all comes from the pressure that's how they found the gaps shot at goal still to come and chance for another two points and he shouldn't have too many problems with this one no trouble with it two more points the first 58 goes short and he SLS the ball forward loose ball SN up good defense they might still have it aie has the ball and shaken up by that one turns it back on the inside he's taken down [Applause] hard the halfback says where are you going son great tackle Crouch bind set H looking for that quick hook both teams putting pressure on K struggling at scum time textbook tackle that pass was fired very flat sh continues over halfway this is a good run thring run towards the line and he scores out near the sideline breaking through the line with amazing gas and the finishing was subur well that is a magnificent try it was a beautifully timed run and the Gap well it just opened up couldn't agree more conversion coming up if he gets this the scores will be all tied up so it's a tight match and the try remains unconverted it is away and the scores remain tight here just not finding his rhythm with the boot here's the kickoff caught and crashes it over the 22 the open side flanker moves it back and he's smashed in the tackle Bosch feeds it off now drop goal attempt from a long way out this one just away to the side now another Chaser is coming forward onto this Lopez claims the loose ball now looking for some Chasers he pushed forward hard trying to regather his kick beer taken down in a brutal tackle look at that formation Justin all eyeses on the fly half here well if they can't improve their defense they'll be in danger of losing this match keeps it moving the number six is pushed back in a great tackle shut down with a brutal tackle the second rower gets a sudden burst of speed relase ah yes brilliant work by fail the defense preparing themselves here gives it short here's the pass no stopping him there the number 15 snaps it up Lam thumped into the ground and they've held this ball perfectly not enough players to the breakdown turnover they were banking on getting this back and now they have the back rower nailed in that tackle good contest but it still there maso grabs it out of the back more formed they are like a bunch of Sherman tanks going up the field there Hodge is controlling it at the back the first five shakes him up in that tackle Lopez pushes it on the number 15 with a promising run Kor doing well to hold on here it's still alive on the attacking side constantly applying pressure here and tackled just short of the line good turnover ball press and they turn the ball over very well he's lost it right on his own line and he's driven backwards now it looks like they might score here look at that formation Justin all eyes on the fly half here mascho gets the ball away long long long pass he's got too much Pace he looks certain to score the left wing in the corner that's what they were looking for a beautiful time no doubt about it look at that it's just a brilliant piece of work yep that's right Justin [Music] kick it goal still to come this conversion not an easy one it's going to take a bit of finesse and he successfully converts it from outride that's a really great pick it was not an easy angle to work with 145 at the break here there's not been a lot between these two in the first half we're pretty much at capacity and the atmosphere is still building as this match progresses so discipline a bit of a problem in this match so far oh I think so niso good number of hit-ups in this match they continue to try and Barge through that defensive line the rightman snaps up the kickoff Bosch Dives after the loose ball now we start to see B organize themselves go for a set play here their performance is incredible in this game so far he drops it onto the boot the bounce is favorable Bor chasing hard the left Winer snapped it up looks like they've lost this Paul looks for options the number 10 Kicks Down field and relieves the pressure the number 15 is absolutely smashed [Applause] maso takes it out of the back that's a pretty good kick up he goes and makes the catch did well though didn't he it was a very good catch Under [Applause] Pressure the number seven lays it back lovely tackle strong defense here's an intercept and he goes over no shortage of Defense but they just couldn't stop him and he's just looked Unstoppable in that [Applause] try and there's a shot at goal to come and he's not about to take this kick for granted right here's the kick the number 10 fails to add the extra two yeah it wasn't a great angle to work with was it Hodge then with the restart the left Winger takes in the [Applause] kickoff masal gathers up the loose ball and they drag him down the number 11 feeds the runners Hodge puts it into touch lost against the throw one against the [Applause] throw good work by the players in the r still their ball now we start to see Bon organize themselves for a set play here now this will be a kick and Chase up he goes to make the catch ball goes inside and they drive him [Applause] backwards not fast enough to the breakdown turnover ball getting players there a little more quickly and they manag to turn it over Lopez feeds it on not a lot of support with him and he puts boot to ball Hodge launches is down to claim the ball the ball there now the number one gives it off now and he's very nearly through and he shows the dummy and he bursts over and gets it down a good strong burst through the defense gets them the try that is what a finisher is supposed to do conversion to follow this should turn into an easy seven point e [Music] no trouble with that two more points [Applause] he goes short the kickoff snapped up he crashes out the number six makes the tackle there's the ball maso has it now and that's a nice kick he's got the loose ball love Advantage oh dear that's a crucial error right in the worst possible position the second 5/8 gets close the defense preparing themselves here maso a good pass to his support player real chance here over number 11 gets his second they happy about that the if on attack gets them some point and they've scored in quick succession here they've played really well so far yeah yes you're absolutely right yeah it was a brilliant piece of work that lad up to this try you can see it here yep I [Music] agree Lopez sizing up this conversion attempt not the easiest of kicks here but looking to convert this five-pointer into seven flag zuro 2810 it wasn't an easy [Applause] one oh they've only got a few minutes to make something kickoff Tak it in number 10 unable to hold him short clever pass and they drive him into the [Applause] ground Hall finds a runner finds a player with a short pass tries to break it but they've got [Applause] him ref's play on turnover here it was good work by them leading up to for that dead right Lopez punts it takes it on the bounce well it was a great catch he's got good hands good work in the rack by per hul picks it up pass has delivered it up strong defense I think they still had this [Applause] one that's been lost forward the right winger goes down and gets it the defense preparing themselves here bruny keeps it going now looking for some Chasers advantage over the second [Applause] 58 took a few attempts but they got him the number 10 carries it back into play he's put it into touch and they jump in the air they've done it an excellent contest here looking pretty comfortable really and they came away with a good win the amount of time they spent in the opposition half as a very telling statistic in this game they couldn't hold on to the ball well enough they've done the job they win 2810 that's it see you next time
