Sam Verigotta with the ball on the run here. And he's over! Great running effort from the lanky lock!

Penalty to the Sharks to be taken by Matthew Scoble. From here, they're going to have a Kick for Touch. That finds touch 17 metres upfield. The players run up to form the line out.

Line Out to Sharks. That's a good throw.
Great work by the Hurricanes. They've contested that Line Out superbly, and Jason Denton steals the ball for them. Denton passes straight off to Pilgrim. He spots a tiny gap, but big enough to fit his small frame through! He burst through the line and he's away!

The next phase to be played from 25 metres on the Sharks side of the halfway line.

Incredible stuff here! He's burst through the defensive line and he's on a run. Luke Pilgrim with the ball for the Hurricanes. I think he's going to make it all the way. Yes, he touches down under the posts. A great run of 26 metres. TRY!!

TRY TO Hurricanes
Conversion attempt for the Hurricanes. Kick to be taken by Ed Ames. Great kick. He's nailed that one and they earn the extra 2 points.

And we're back level here at 17 - 17.

 

5m, you pillock! :d

 

80.00 + 0.45

Gareth Weaver knocks the ball on, and that's the end of normal time here.

We'll have "Golden Try" extra time. First team to score a try, wins the game. Extra minutes do not count towards individual player stats - I'm afraid the sim was not built with extra time factored in...

 

The first 10m of Extra Time... Nothing to write home about. Some sterling defensive work on the fringes sees the majority of play occur between the halfway and the 22s.

 

80.00 +13.00

Ashleigh Stroud drops the ball with the line in the corner begging with only 3m to go to the line. Ames belts the ball 30m downfield from the resulting scrum. The tackle from Gemmell caused the error from Stroud.
