Second high tackle on Eaton by the Bay of Plenty captain after he went for a sniping run around the ruck. They give the ball to West to kick at goal but he spots the Steamers defence sleeping, quick tap and he sends it wide for the lock to score on the wing. Great vision by the little 1st five
West with another great kick into the teeth of this wind. He keeps it low after his side won a scrum penalty for 'hinging'
