14.45 Penalty. Os du Toit penalised for collapsing that scrum. Gamblers in a dangerous position here. Taylor kicks for touch right in the corner, but that's a weak kick. Bruce Force is out there and manages to take the catch and stay in field. He passes to Ivan Ryabovol who clears. He's shanked that right into touch though. Gamblers line out 11m from the try line.
...Good throw from Lewis taken by Burridge. Burridge is set up for a maul, and a few metres are gained. 7m from the line, but they can get no further. The maul is brought down and the ball comes out on the Gamblers side. The ball comes to Humble, but he's tackled by Volt Man. Bodies pile in from both sides here, the Crabs sense a turnover, but somehow the ball comes out on the Gamblers side. With the forwards tied up at the ruck, the Gamblers try to spread the ball. Funkotron with the ball but Dong hits him hard in the tackle. Surely off side? Play on says the ref. Clean ball for the Gamblers again. Attempting the pick and go, Lewis is held by his opposite number Volt Man, but gains 2m. Again, the ball comes out for the Gamblers. And another pick and go attempt. Morgan rumbles on, but du Toit takes him down. Burger, Howe and Hurricane pile in... The ref blows his whistle. Morgan penalised for not releasing the ball. Superb tackling from the Crabs there, they soaked up a lot of phases.
22:00 Great flowing move from the Crabs here... Phifteenplus with the ball 20m on the Vikings side of the halfway line. He beats Morgan for pace and bounces off an attempted tackle from Taylor before palming off Hornby with ease. He passes off to Brumby who smashes Funkotron before offloading to Heads. Heads in space, and gains 10 yards before passing to Ryabovol. Great pass and Ryabovol gains another 6. 20m into Gamblers territory now as Ryabovol is held up. The ball pops up to Dong who thumps into Lee. Dong passes to Kao - only 15m from the Gamblers line now. Kao is supported by Volt Man, but instead passes back to Phifteenplus. Phifteenplus to Howe, who's tackled only 3m short of the line. Gamblers turn this ball over - great work by Welker. The ball is passed out to Popovic to clear...
...but Popovic's kick is charged down by Brumby. Speirs is first to the ball, and he's got hold of it, but is tackled by Humble inches short of the try line. With the Gamblers in disarray, there's not enough weight there to slow the ball down. Hurricane with the pick and go and he's driven over the line. TRY to the Crabs. Somerset converts to give them a 7 - 0 lead.
...Good restart from Taylor, taken by Phifteenplus. He passes to Howe, but he makes a pig's ear of it and that's a knock on. Scrum to the Gamblers, good clean ball for Hornby who passes off to the onrunning Taylor. He jinks past Kao and he's in acres of space. Furball is the only one who can stop him, but he's not quick enough to prevent Taylor scoring in the corner. Tough conversion for Taylor, and it swings well wide to the left. Crabs 7 - 5 Gamblers
29:30 Daniel Speirs has pulled up after a short run with the ball. He looks in some pain. He's having to be substituted and Raftery comes on instead. Big loss for the Crabs, right there.
Your RUSim post rank's probably what's letting you down. Anyway, as you mentioned it... 34.45 With the Crabs only 5m short of the Gamblers line, another turnover has been won by Humble. The ball comes out to Popovic who again attempts to clear. However, it's charged down by Dong. Fortunately for the Gamblers, this time the ball was smashed into Dong by Popovic and the ball ricochets off Dong and out the back of the end zone. 22m drop out for the Gamblers.
42.30 A good kick from Taylor provides good territorial advantage for the Gamblers. Lewis with a good throw, and the Gamblers set up for the maul. The Crabs forwards are holding them off though, and so they look to spread it. The ball comes out to Taylor again, who's tackled 10m short of the line. Welker with the pick and go from the back of the ruck. He gains a couple, but the Crabs forwards stay firm. Lewis attempts a pick and go, but makes no territory. The Gamblers try to spread the ball wide, but Funkotron drops the ball following a poor pass from King.
