002 - a maul is set up. The day will see many of these.
003 - Rochford's talented full back skirts inside Park's winger on his way to a try
004 - The conversion failed to earn any points. Score 0 - 5
005 - Full back Nick Reid looks to break out of defence
006 - But cannot find a gap
007 - Once again Rochford's full back evades the defence on Park's right wing
008 - and the cover by Left Wing Jamie Harbour
009 - and Lee attempt to save the points
010 - Jamie makes a last ditch effort
011 - but he manges to touch down
012 - The easy conversion follows - Score 0 -12
013 - Blind side wing forward Peter O'Brien rises majestically to claim line out ball

016 - with his eyes set on the posts
017 - Line crossed
018 - One last desperate defensive tackle
019 - Touch down
020 - followed by a successful conversion - Score 7 - 12

022 - Bami getting back to his best form continually made good yards
023 - John Hogarth was powerful in the centre of the back line
024 - here almost breaking through but for a desperate clutching of his boot.
