| | | Blow by Blow | | 80 | The final whistle goes. | | 78 | Conversion - Godwin takes over the kicking, and slots the conversion. | | 77 | Try - The Force tap a penalty, but the ball is held up over the line. From the scrum the ball goes right and Homes is over for try no. 3. | | 74 | Yellow Card - Whitelcok is given his marching orders after repeated infringements on defence by the Saders. | | 67 | Freuan breaks the line, setting up a certain try, but Guildford's final pass to Romano is judged to be forward. | | 64 | Penalty - Taylor stops the rot by scoring some points for the Crusaders. | | 61 | Conversion - Sheehan adds the extra two. | | 60 | Try - The Force all of a sudden find themselves with a wealth of possession, and boy, are they making the best of it. Again the ball is worked into the 22. A quick recycle and Mafi crashes over. How costly are those earlier tmo decisions now? | | 54 | Conversion - Sheehan takes over the kicking and he slots the conversion. | | 53 | Try - The Force tap a penalty after the Saders go offside. Godwin steps inside his marker and scores his first try at this level. | | more |
