The try started with Placid putting up a bomb and collecting it from deep in his 22. A number of phases and great hands and Placid gets the ball 15m out from the line, sprints in between 2 defenders and throws a pass to Veainu that was insane. A no looker out the side door

The try looked inevitable as Melbourne were so close on a number of phases and attacks. They stuck to their plan and earned their try

Another penalty for offside. Stirzaker calls his team together and takes the scrum

Penalty right in front of the posts and the bonus with these new scoring rules is they opt to scrum and try for an 8 pointer

Luke Jones with a line out steal for the Rising and they kick ahead and earn a penalty. Quick tap and Alo-Emile on attack

Scrappy play by both sides as they lose it. Turner makes a humorous error as he tries to kick from the base but loses it backwards. HE regathers and completes his kick after though

Scrum penalty as the Rising pre-engage and the #8 takes a quick tap and charges over under the posts

Perth put together 15 phases but just can't break the line. All the team are carrying and getting involved. Melbourne Rising defend very well but were offside a few times in that. Advantage and Penalty to the Spirit. They are taking the scrum

Great passage of play by the Perth Spirit as they spend plenty of time in the Rising 22m

Zack Holmes gets good front foot ball after a break by Stander. He puts in a kick that goes out just ahead of the Rising try line. Melbourne manage to win the line out and the penalty and Debreczeni kicks it miles down the touch line
