| | | Blow by Blow | | 80 | Nonu fails to hang on to a pop pass and the final whistle goes. Great win for the beleaguered Blues. | | 72 | Missed Conversion | | 71 | Try - The Blues scrum has the Force under pressure opn their own line. The ball is lost behind the pack and Luke Braid can punce on it for a very rare bonus-point try. | | 66 | Nonu is caught offside at a ruck. The Force will have no option but to go for touch. They try a long throw but it is the Blues who come away with it. | | 59 | Conversion - Munro adds the extras. | | 58 | Try - Nonu rounds off after a great break by Saili. The Blues are now well on top of this one. | | 57 | Conversion - Another conversion from far out right. | | 55 | Try - The fullback joins the line at full pace and there you go; try in the right-hand corner. | | 52 | The sloppiness continues as the Force first ends their own attack with a needless knock-on before Mafi boots the ball straight into touch. Fortuntely for them the Blues lineout continues to bleed and the ball is cooughed up once more. | | 48 | Napolioni Nalaga breaks through the line and shows tremendous pace to make it to the line. Unfortunately there is no back-up when he is brought down and the Blues are able to force a turnover. | | more |
