City win yet another penalty after the scrum was collapsed. City have been camping on the tryline for quite a few minutes now.

The ref finally loses patients and it's Miller who is sent packing. 5m scrum to Brisbane City. Big Opportunity.

Once again they win a penalty, the ref is slowly losing patients. McIntyre sets up another 5m lineout. They form a maul after the lineout but are forced to break down the side. After a few phases, City are centimeters from scoring.

Vaea is penalised for not using arms in the tackle. McIntyre sets up a 5m lineout.

City have a chance to strike right back. McIntyre sets up a 15m lineout attacking ball, but once again it is turned over by the Eagles.

After a long passage of play inside the City 22m area, a great pass leads to Wara scoring in the corner. Something tells me this is going to be a high scoring match.

Va'aulu makes one of the tackles of the season. the Eagles player dives over the line to socre a certain try, and Va'aulu dives and knocks the ball out of his hands over the tryline. Fantastic stuff!

McIntyre sets up a lineout on the Eagles 22m line, but the ball is stolen and cleared up field.

Apologies for the lack of commentary after some technical difficulties. Great opening 5min from both teams. City have a scrum on halfway midfield.
