Russell converts
Walker throws a dummy and runs 60 metres before throwing a long ball out to Papali'i, who lets it bounce, regathers, steps inside the defence and then dives over to score
Russell fails to convert
Brown kicks high, Walker bats it back, then Hawkins grubbers through for Papali'i who then blindly passes to his outside to Samrani wrapping around and he somehow gets the ball down while being flipped over.
SCRUM EELS - 15m shy of halfway
Koula takes a great catch, he drops the ball, Moretti picks it up, runs to the line and kicks, cos he's a halfback and you all know it, but sadly none of his team mates were where the ball was - that's on them, the kick was awesome. Manly challenge, just to watch Moretti's brilliance again, but a strip against him was found.
Moretti storms onto a nice ball and he breaks through the line and races 35 kms before everyone else finally catches up and tackles him.
Garrick from the left sideline fails to convert
