Poor Dougy 38.00 Disaster for the Sharks. They've had no luck with injuries this season, and another one has gone down. David Dafter has strained a muscle and off he goes. Replaced by rookie Niranjan Gurupur. Probably puts the Crabs in the box seat now. And that's half time.
40.00-50.00 A bit of a mid pitch arm wrestle here. Verigotta solid on defence as the Crabs attempt a couple of forays into the Sharks' 22m. However, Verigotta wins two turnovers in as many minutes to repel the danger.
53.30 Fisher penalised for poor binding at the scrum. A harsh call, and this kick is only from about 18m out. Somerset nails it to give the Crabs the lead. Crabs 10 - 7 Sharks
57.45 Try saving tackle from Hurricane there? Astele was on a decent run through the middle. Yes, he was still 10m short of the line, but Hurricane nails him. Bruce Force comes into complete the turnover, despite good support from Morris and Green for Astele. Good defensive work here.
