The first try scoring opportunity of the second half is earned by the Force and its Matthewson who does a box kick from the back of the scrum and the chase is almost certain bye the ball sneaks over the dead ball and play is brought back

Force seem to have regrouped after half time and first 10 minutes of second half have been played evenly by both teams. Some huge tackles being made by both teams throughout the field
25 minutes in and Waratahs get their 3rd try. The extra numbers out wide are utilised and the ball is with Kingston who used his brute power to barge is way through 2 tacklers and push his way over the whitewash. TMO used to confirm grounding.
Force find themselves back in the Tahs 22 and after a solid scrum they had the ball safe at the back controlled by Cottrell. The scrum is turned into a ruck and its Cowen who ends up with the ball to go over for his sides first try of the game.
Excellent score from the visitors. Straight off the training ground as the ball is spread through the hands in the backline after a superb off the top lineout ball. Mitchell draws the final defender perfectly and feeds Crawford to go over in the corner.
First bit of attacking possession for the Tahs sees them bring the Force through 15 phases before Atkins crashes over from short range.
