S4, R4: Gamblers RUFC vs. Sharks (vBookie)

63.15

The ruck forms. Only 3m from the Gamblers line here. Astele with the pick and go. He's over the line!

The ref's right on the spot. He doesn't like it. We're going to the TMO...

...Astele has been held up. That'll be a 5m scrum to the Sharks...

 

...Bakkum feeds the scrum. The Gamblers are looking to turn it here, but to no avail. Bakkum with the ball from the back of the scrum. He's spreading it wide. Out to Devonshire.

Devonshire tackled by Lee, but there's no one to help him. Bakkum's in there quickly and spins the ball back the other way. The Sharks are making no progress here.

Out the other way to Hutchinson. Hutchinson taken down in a pretty high shot from Tyson. He goes down like a sack of shit, but Sharks forwards are there to protect the ball.

They line up the pick and go. Only 3m out.

Laing with the first attempt. And he's through. The big flanker has levelled the score with his 2nd try of the night.

Scoble looking for some redemption with this kick. Not an easy one... YES! He's nailed it.

The Sharks take the lead!

Gamblers 12 - 14 Sharks

 

Farrk, needs two scores for the draw now.

Safe to say Scoble will be recieving a house call or two from my agent.

 

64.30

Taylor with the restart. Straight to Bakkum. Should be ideal for a counter from here. Oh deary me, that's just slipped through his hands. Knock on.

Let's laugh at the replay.

Scrum to the Gamblers. Good scrum.

Hornby with clean ball. Hornby to Taylor, he runs, but makes no progress. Back to Hornby. Hornby with quick hands to Tyson. Tyson out to Lee. Things are opening up here. Lee looks to shimmy at the line but offloads to Boy.

Boy has a good run at the Sharks line here! He slips through an attempted tackle from Devonshire and he's through the line. Logan won't stop him. He dots down.

Pressure on the Taylor conversion here... And it's good. The Gamblers hit straight back!

Gamblers 19 - 14 Sharks

Oz on for Sweetman
Fisher for Astele
Das for Masters
Hughes for Bakkum
MacDonald for Devonshire

 

70.00

Verigotta with the ball. He beats Brett Hall and offloads infield to James Hughes.

Hughes tackled by Jimmy Read. Tyson and Gemmell are there, but Scoble and Das hit back and secure the ball for the Sharks.

With Hughes and Scoble in the ruck, MacDonald fills in at half back. He spins the ball on the openside to Graham. Graham to Witters. Witters holds momentarily and passes to Hutchinson.

Hutchinson too quick for Warrington, but Boy is up to cover. Hutchinson panicks but finds Laing with a wild pass.

Laing has no momentum and passes to Graham. Graham is soon brought down by Burridge. 20m into Gamblers territory now.

Dafter picks up the ball from the ruck and takes a run at the line. He charges at Gemmell who is hammered backwards, though he eventually brings Dafter down. A productive thump from Dafter. Another pick and go attempt, but Morris is immediately repelled by Welker.

Now they look to spread the ball, but Scoble is nailed by an offside Hall. The ball comes to Hutchinson as the ref plays advantage...
