S4, Res4: Squids vs. Punters (vBookie)

( 1:08.00: Squids 12 - 18 Punters) The next phase to be played from 19 metres on the Punters side of the halfway line.

Jimmy Read on the run with the ball. He looks around and sizes up his options. He looks around, but he's plum out of decent options here. He's passed far too high there. It hits one of his unfortunate team mates on the shoulder and careens away forward. Scrum time.

( 1:08.15: Squids 12 - 18 Punters) The next phase to be played from 19 metres on the Punters side of the halfway line.

Scrum to the Squids. Great work by the Squids. That's been hooked cleanly and the Squids scrum looks as if it is working well today. That was a good, clean good put in.

( 1:08.30: Squids 12 - 18 Punters) The next phase to be played from 19 metres on the Punters side of the halfway line.

Too easy for a player of James Hughes' undoubted quality. He sneaked through a tiny gap left between Luke Popovic and Zach Poole and Bob Borisc didn't have the pace to chase him down.

TRY TO Squids
Conversion attempt for the Squids. Kick to be taken by Jack Holbitt. Oh dear me. He's sliced that one horribly, the try remains unconverted. Only 5 points added to their total.
Squids 17 - 18 Punters

 

( 1:14.00: Squids 17 - 18 Punters) We're now 3 metres into Squids territory.

Scrum to the Punters. That's a penalty to the Squids. The referee has spotted that Mathew Kaye was angling in to his opposite number.

( 1:14.15: Squids 17 - 18 Punters) Now they're 3 metres on the Squids side of the halfway line. What can they do with the ball from here?

Penalty to the Squids to be taken by Jack Holbitt. From here, they're going to have a Kick for Touch. That'll do, I suppose. That finds touch 12 metres upfield. The players run up to form the line out.

( 1:14.30: Squids 17 - 18 Punters) The next phase to be played from 9 metres on the Punters side of the halfway line.

Line Out to Squids. The calls come from the lines. Soumyanil Das throws and that's right down the middle. Who can time their leap best?
Easy take there for the Squids. Cameron Chapnis comes around the near side and catches it at short range.

The ball carrier drives at the opposition line and gains 3 metres before the offload.

( 1:14.45: Squids 17 - 18 Punters) We're now 12 metres into Punters territory.

The Punters have given this game away! An atrocious missed tackle from Mitch Johns present Jack Holbitt with acres of space, and he's not going to bugger this one up.
He's in - great try by Jack Holbitt. A great run of 39 metres. TRY!!

TRY TO Squids
Can the Squids make it seven points? Jack Holbitt steadies himself for the conversion attempt. Nah, that's sailed wide of the posts.

Squids 22 - 18 Punters

 

The siren sounds with Soumyanil Das in possession. He passes it back to James Hughes who hoofs it into touch. Win for the Squids.

 

We are choking big time

 

Squids (22)
Tries: Hughes, Edwards x 2, Holbitt
Conversions: Holbitt x 1

Punters (18)
Tries: Lee, Eightyfour
Penalties: Popovic x 2
Conversions: Popovic x 1

 

Still can't get a damn win.

Definitely good signs from the Punters. A number of players are improving, but the total inactives - Bovver, Poole, Nickler - really hurting them.

 

Poole with 16 kicking errors. Impressive.

 

Woah i'm actually playing well now.
