Lam manages to retain possession from the clearance from Plummer and he starts a beautiful chain of events. Plummer receives the ball in hand and looks to kick but decides to hand it to Trainor who breaks the line and dodges a few defenders as he clears 60 metres of the field before handing it to Apisai to dot it down!
