Still no score, but the Tigers are playing pretty much within the centre third of the field in attack, and making no metres because of it.

The Bunnies well within the Tigers' half now. Some good reads from the Tigers' defence, as well as some great one on one tackling and the home side get away unscathed.

The ball gets forced out in a heavy tackle on Thomas Burgess. Great tackle from Joel Edwards - a very technically solid defender.

Scrum feed on the Bunnies' 10 metre line, and the away side brings it away from their line.

Robbie Farah kicks long on the last, but it's slightly too long, dribbling over the dead ball line.

The Tigers struggling to make metres with their first use of the football. A good run from Ava Seumanufagai, and a great kick on the last turns a poor set into a decent one.

Game on! The Tigers kick off, and the Rabbitohs will attack first.
Much simpler for the Tigers. JJ Felise has been removed from the interchange. New signing Malakai Watene Zelezniak will play in the starting side at centre with Chee-Kam benched.
Massive changes to the Rabbitohs' side. Walker moves to fullback, Johnston to wing, Burns out. Goodwin moves to the centres with Gray shifting to the wing. Sutton replaces Walker at five-eighth, Robbie Rochow starts second row for Sutton, and finally, Cook is benched with Farah to start hooker. Cherrington and Fuiamaono join the interchange.
Not long until kick off in this match between the Tigers and the Rabbitohs.
