Indigenous side go short with the kick-off but it's gathered by the Maori side. There is a coming together of the two sides and Maori PENALTY.

BUNKER TIME! Brandon Smith can't be stopped. Checking if he held the ball.

RED LIGHTS.. NO TRY! Double movement. PENALTY Indigenous.

BUNKER TIME! Brandon Smith might have dug through again. Held up and double movement being checked.

Some savvy work from Kev Proctor there. On his home ground, he knows every inch of grass and escorted the ball over the sideline from kick-off. Maori ball deep on the attack.

Lost in all the excitement (?) of the Mexican wave making it's debut at a rugby league game. The Maori side challenged a decision and were the first to be unsuccessful.

Indigenous side are the first to try the 20/40 but it sailed over the sideline.

BUNKER TIME! Bryson Goodwin might have crossed. Checking the contest.

Last quarter action! let's go!

THREE QUARTER TIME! Indigenous seem to have found their footing in the late stages of the contest and the Maori side has 20 mins to turn this around.

BUNKER TIME! Maori try to pinch one through Jahrome Hughes but Alex Johnston just got there first for the Indigenous side.

Time off as Chris Smith is assisted from the field with a suspected knee injury.

PENALTY MAORI! Escort from the kick chase.

RED LIGHTS.. NO TRY! Ramien was offside and gets involved in the play.

BUNKER TIME! Josh Addo-Carr might have snagged one. Just checking the onside.

Here we go! Back underway at a bubbling CBUS Super Stadium!

BUNKER TIME! Fergo has done the acrobatics and touched down but we're going back to check how the ball was dislodged.

Indigenous try to bullet one to the right but it is spilled. Relief for the Maori defense now.

PENALTY INDIGENOUS. Josh Curran takes the first hit-up.

That is innovative from the scrum which was moved in. It is kicked deep for Josh Addo-Carr to run onto but the Storm speedster is taken out and James Roberts can't reel it in. It is being checked and WILL be a professional foul.

Once again, the offload is killing the Indigenous side as it ended up with veteran Bryson Goodwin on the sideline but he was ragdolled by David Fifita over the touchline.

Everyone has caught their breath, had some water. Time for game back on. Indigenous take first possession.

Oops! Indigenous cough it up right on quarter time but the kick from Maori is covered, then after some helter skelter. Quarter time!

PENALTY MAORI! Superb work from DWZ who has had a impressive start to block the kick and set off. The Panthers star earns the first penalty of the evening as well.

After the frenetic start, the game has settled into a rhythm. Both sides trying to spread the ball when they get the chance on the edges.

Offloads are ripping open the Indigenous defense. Again, Corey Harawira-Naera popped it and if not for the late intervention from Josh Addo-Carr that was the second Maori score.

Fox gets hunted as he collects the bomb from DWZ who lays the shoulder in. Early running has been with the Maori side.

Tyrone Roberts tries to grubber through but it rolls dead. Seven tackle set for Maoris.

Here we go! Take a deep breath and enjoy this passionate contest!

Quick picture with the match officals and captains, now we have a moment's silence for the stolen generation which was well observed. Now time for the haka which was thunderous as usual. Next up, the Indigenous side get their battle cry ready and the crowd is fired up. This clash is going to be something special between two sides representing their cultures!

Good evening everyone! Smell that? Rugby league season is on the horizon! We have a quality clash that will be full of pride, passion and blood lines as the Indigenious All Stars take on the Maori Kiwi All Stars! Preston is on the didgeridoo as the Indigenous side is led out by Joel Thompson and Young Quaden.
