We're back in Auckland! Can the Warriors push back or will the Roosters finish the job.

Warriors aren't able to throw anything at the Roosters. HALFTIME.

PENALTY ROOSTERS! They have a big chance to strike before the break.

That was a match race! Roosters got to a loose ball and kicked it forward. It felt like a Wellington Phoenix game for a second then the Warriors fell on it.

The kick is too big for Jackson Ford. We do have a CHALLENGE. Warriors are saying it was touched by a Rooster. SUCCESSFUL. Manu played at it.

The low kick has been the go today. Warriors go another one and force an error again. They are arguing for an offside which won't come.

RED LIGHTS.. NO TRY! DWZ got a touch and it goes dead.

BUNKER TIME! DWZ is claiming one albeit reluctantly. It was a kick through and it was a close race to the ball but who got the touch.

PENALTY WARRIORS! Crusher.

PENALTY ROOSTERS! That was a wild sequence. Warriors go for a 20/40, Jaxon Paulo saves it then the pass inside sees Tedesco lined up by the defence. There was no one at marker but Walker was not square.

Paulo tries a kick and the Warriors cover it.

Good kick through from the Warriors and Corey Allan has to take it dead.

Keary steers a kick towards the ingoal and it is batted dead.

KICK-OFF! Here we go!

It is a wet and wild one in Auckland today as the Roosters enter the field in their white, blue and red jersey. The drums start beating and the smoke means it is time for the Warriors to make their entrance.

Good afternoon everyone! We start your Sunday across the ditch. Warriors host the Roosters with both teams coming off games on ANZAC Day. They had differing fortunes with the Roosters getting a one point win while the Warriors went down by eight. This shapes up to be a good contest. Grab your snacks, drinks and other comforts and settle in.
