SCRUM DRAGONS - 10m from the Knights line
Gamble fails to convert
Young is a flurry of arms and legs as he scores while Suli somehow flips Young around, so that he's upside down as he plants the ball.

SCRUM DRAGONS - 10m from the Knights line
Miller sent to the sin bin for tackling Amone, who passed the ball just before Miller tackled him, as the tackle gets completed, the Dragons attack passes the ball back to Amone who was unable to receive the pass due to being tackled. Knights challenge and are unsuccessful.
Lomax converts from the sideline
Bunker just finished one review and now they've got another to do. This time Ravalawa looks to have scored in the corner, despite 2 defenders taking him into touch. He's grounded the ball while in the air over the sideline. Brilliant!
Gamble with a brilliant solo try. He shaped to kick on the last, then run before putting in a chip which Jones regathered and passed back to Gamble all in one motion as he was met by the defender and Gamble raced 40m to score. Or so we thought. Turns out Jones was just in front of Gamble when he kicked. No try.

No.
Knights turn it over inside their own half. Can the Dragons do something useful?
Been a very open game yet at the same time, neither side is executing their last tackle plays with any real effect
