A strong first half sees the visiting, unbeaten Lions take a 31-10 lead into halftime. The visitors ran in four tries in the first half to have a comfortable lead at the break. The home side nearly managed to get over in the final seconds of the half which would have got them right back into this match, but the Lions held them up despite their numerical disadvantage as Whitely was in the bin due to repeated offences.
