Season 3, Round 1: Spartans vs. Sharks @ The Hot Gates (vBookie)

Loughman kicks for the sideline. Just inside the 22. Line out to the Spartans. Good throw. It looks like the Spartans are going for the maul again. It worked for them once, and again they’ve got a good rumble on here; though they’re starting the maul from much further out this time, they’ve gained a good 10m before they’re finally stopped by the Sharks forwards.

 

Massive play coming right up...

Ball is spun out to Tait. Tait gains a couple of yards, but is tackled by McDougal. Another ruck forms. McDougal in there. Oh dear. The ref blows up again. It’s barely been a minute since the last warning. Hands in the Ruck is the call, and McDougal’s given a Yellow Card. Penalty to the Spartans from just in front, but more importantly, the Sharks will start the 2nd half with only 14 players.

Loughman with the kick. 3 points.

Half time
10 – 0 to the Spartans. And really, they’ve dominated this contest so far.

Massive moment that. Of all the players to lose to a Yellow, McDougal is a massive loss. Welker having another storming game for the Sharks though.
