TAYLOR TO THE TRY LINE…..RABBIT BOY GETS HIM! NO BUT TAYLOR PLANTS THE BALL! THAT IS A TRY FOR THE HAWKS! Brilliant play! It all started way up field from stacker to gaylor who got it away to taylor. Now the hawks hit back 4-6 with a kick to come from right in front. Shriram makes no mistake of it and the Hawks are back 6-6 with the delight of the crowd.

Update - 31st minute:Look at how one try can get the momentum changed, it is all with the Hawks now. Just 9 left till have time, the Test Eagles have the ball, 15 out from their own line. It comes down to Hunt who charges forward, AND GETS SMASHED BY THE DEFENSE! Quick play the ball now, it comes to Orr, he looks to make some ground, he gets passed the 20, then gets taken down! He looks to play it quickly….TOO QUICKLY! PENALTY TO THE HAWKS! The referee has said that Orr tried to play the ball before getting up and he is penalised! Great chance for the hawks here less than 30 out. What will they do? The captain points to the posts and they will take the two. Interesting decision but it gives them the lead. Shriram, lines the ball up, strikes it nicely and it is right over the black dot. They now lead 8-6.
Update – 38th Minute: Just minutes to go before half time, this will be the Hawks last usage of the ball, they have it 35 out from their own line.

Last tackle, it comes back to Taylor, the defense charges up, WILL HE GET THE KICK AWAY!?!? HE STEPS! HE THROWS IT BACK, IT COMES TO STACKER, STACKER STOPS, STEPS ONE…..ITS LAST TACKLE HERE!! HE CHIPS OVER THE TOP, STACKER CHASES, IT BOUNCES UP……………INTO THE ARMS OF STACKER! OH STACKER WITH JUST ONE TO BEAT! HERE COMES MIOKOVIC!! STACKER PASSES AND MIOKOVIC IS THROUGH! TO THE 40….TO THE 30…TO THE 20…HE WILL SCORE! THE CROWD ABSOLUTELY ERUPTS AND THE HAWKS HAVE SCORED FROM ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Brilliant! It looked for all money that they would get caught out on last from good pressure by the defense but Stacker pulled one out of the hat! Shriram converts from in front and can you believe it, all of a sudden the Hawks will go to the break with an 8 point lead! Absolutely devastating for the Test Eagles! The siren sounds and that’s halftime folks! The Hawks lead 14-6 going into the break!
