Jack Wighton spills it over the line, World then lose it and Indigenous claim a try anyway but it's called a scrum by Atkins. World ball.
Indigenous All Stars 34-8
Indigenous have a scrum, then GI loses it, so the World All Stars get one straight after it.
Indigenous All Stars 34-8
SUCCESSFUL CONVERSION INDIGENOUS ALL STARS: Conversion attempt by Aidan Sezer successful.
JT's off the park, so Sezer assumes kicking duties and has done it well on the far touchline.
Indigenous All Stars 34-8
TRY INDIGENOUS ALL STARS: Scored by Leilani Latu. Kick to come.
Leilani Latu scores for the second year in a row in this fixture! Nice fend and scores in the far northern corner.
Indigenous All Stars 32-8
This quarter so far has seen the World side dominate field position.
Indigenous All Stars 28-8
We're back underway for the last quarter of action in Newcastle with the Indigenous boys ahead by 20.
Indigenous All Stars 28-8
Three Quarter Time with the Indigenous boys back in the ascendency. Thurston is on fire and the World side don't seem to have too many answers.
Indigenous All Stars 28-8
SUCCESSFUL CONVERSION INDIGENOUS ALL STARS: Conversion attempt by Johnathan Thurston successful.
No dramas for JT as we close in on 3QT.
Indigenous All Stars 28-8
TRY INDIGENOUS ALL STARS: Scored by Dane Gagai. Kick to come.
Superb cross-field kick from JT and Dane Gagai takes it and improves the position!
Indigenous All Stars 26-8
World All Stars finally force a drop out.
Indigenous All Stars 22-8
Time off again now with Jarrod Croker down. Looks like a fairly serious injury, his leg buckled underneath the weight of a tackle. He's being helped off now.
Indigenous All Stars 22-8
Uh oh, GI down... but he's waving the trainers off and getting up and into the line.
Indigenous All Stars 22-8
Macdonald's taken Ferguson high as the latter was fielding a high ball on his own line. Indigenous get a relieving penalty as a result.
Indigenous All Stars 22-8
SUCCESSFUL CONVERSION INDIGENOUS ALL STARS: Conversion attempt by Johnathan Thurston successful.
Converts his own. Lead jumps out to 14 points.

TRY INDIGENOUS ALL STARS: Scored by Johnathan Thurston. Kick to come.
How good is that! A great team try and JT caps it off by scoring near the posts. Wonderful in-field kick from Bevan French to set it up.
Indigenous All Stars 20-8
That's halftime. Quarter time almost seemed to halt the Indigenous side's momentum and after plenty of chances the World All Stars managed to hit back twice before the break. Croker's missed conversion might come back to haunt them though. Third quarter coming up soon.
Indigenous All Stars 16-8
UNSUCCESSFUL CONVERSION WORLD ALL STARS: Conversion attempt by Jarrod Croker unsuccessful.
The Raiders' captain misses again.
Indigenous All Stars 16-8
TRY WORLD ALL STARS: Scored by Nene Macdonald. Kick to come.

Indigenous All Stars 16-8
Oh FFS, it's another Bunker referral. Macdonald is over in the corner for the World.
Indigenous All Stars 16-4
UNSUCCESSFUL CONVERSION WORLD ALL STARS: Conversion attempt by Jarrod Croker unsuccessful.
Croker misses.
Indigenous All Stars 16-4
TRY WORLD ALL STARS: Scored by David Mead. Kick to come.
Insufficient evidence to overturn the decision means we have a try based on the view of the touch judge. Mead is in and the World are finally on the board!
Indigenous All Stars 16-4
Indigenous really with the foot off the gas here, another error and World have a scrum 15m out from the opposition line. Another chance to post points...
Indigenous All Stars 16-0
World threatening plenty but just missing that final bit of polish. Another error near the end of an attacking set hands the pill back to the Indigenous.
Indigenous All Stars 16-0
An error in the corner, great defence too from Indigenous, and they come away with it.
Indigenous All Stars 16-0
And add a penalty to that. Full set inside 10m now.
Indigenous All Stars 16-0
World with a set in the Indigenous 20m now!
Indigenous All Stars 16-0
Drop-out forced by Thurston. World under plenty of pressure yet again.
Indigenous All Stars 16-0
Quarter time. World just not with enough to get across the line before the siren sounds for the end of the first twenty.
Indigenous All Stars 16-0
Never mind, the Indigenous lose it in the first tackle! World with a scrum 20m out!
Indigenous All Stars 16-0
World finally getting some field position but Bryce Cartwright is taken to ground down the short side - tries a clumsy offload to Uate but it's all gone to buggery. Indigenous scrum.
Indigenous All Stars 16-0
SUCCESSFUL CONVERSION INDIGENOUS ALL STARS: Conversion attempt by Johnathan Thurston successful.
And that was fairly easy. JT converts for a 16-0 lead.
Indigenous All Stars 16-0
TRY INDIGENOUS ALL STARS: Scored by Ashley Taylor. Kick to come.
All good after reviewing all 235346 pieces of play prior to the try... Ashley Taylor scores. This could be a long night for the boys in white.
Indigenous All Stars 14-0
We're with the Bunker for a possible Indigenous try after a World error.
Indigenous All Stars 10-0
JT with a cross field kick and it's dropped by Ferguson. World All Stars with it.
Indigenous All Stars 10-0
Plenty of pressure from the Indigenous side, pressing the World's line again and they get a scrum from a comedy of errors on the last with a whole new set from 10m out!
Indigenous All Stars 10-0
UNSUCCESSFUL CONVERSION INDIGENOUS ALL STARS: Conversion attempt by Johnathan Thurston unsuccessful.
Swings it wide. Turns out he is human!
Indigenous All Stars 10-0
TRY INDIGENOUS ALL STARS: Scored by Blake Ferguson. Kick to come.
Numbers to the right and Ferguson scores in the corner untouched!

We're on! World All Stars with it first.
We have both sides on the field. Time for the pre-match ceremony.
Not long from a start now. Kickoff due around 8pm although this isn't always the case depending on the broadcaster.
A warm night in Newcastle but it's cooled down enough for what should be a cracker game. A few changes from the sides named back in December for this clash, check them out in the teams tab.
