Codey Rei marks the ball after Tongia breaks down the left hand touch line and is forced to kick as the cover defence wraps him up

What a try! Quick turnover and quick hands into the midfield to Dixon who straightened slightly and offloaded well to Tongia who had plenty of work to do and his pace and step made it look easy
Certain try butchered by Lamborn as he does not pass out wide. Buckman eventually gets the ball on the other side of the field but can't score
Marshall with a great option to straighten the line checked the cover defence. The ball went quickly wide and Tamanivalu ran a good tight line inside the first receiver to go in untouched and score
