Great team work for that try and some tenacity shown by the Spirit. They execute their game plan very well but don't always hold onto the ball

Burgess can thank his pack for that as the 7 man scrum of the Rising destroy the Spirit and drive over them

Spirit on attack and are penalised for holding on. The Spirit tap and go and set Veainu free who kicks ahead and is taken out by Matuauto. Penalty kicked out on the 5m line and the Rising looking good here

Profesional foul on the line by Simona gives him a yellow card. The Spirit are hunting a try here as they get another penalty

What a great try. Debreczeni spots a little space behind the defensive line and he puts in a perfect grubber kick. It was collected by English who passes inside immediately to Veainu who sprints ahead and steps the last man to score.

Simple play by the Rising as Burgess opens up the defence with a great switch pass to Neville

Witht he Spirit having 7 players in the pack they were simply just over powered as the Rising just marched through them over the try line
