S3, A3: Victoria vs. New South Wales (vBookie)

21:00

Line Out to Hurricanes. That's a good throw.
Easy take there for the Hurricanes. The ball secured easily by Morgan Burridge.

The next phase to be played from 27 metres on the Spartans side of the halfway line.


Karwin Rogers with the ball on the run here. He only gains a metre before offloading to Herd.

The next phase to be played from 28 metres on the Spartans side of the halfway line.

Ben Herd with the ball on the run here. He's already gained 6 metres. It looks like he's going to be tackled by Bob Borisc but sees the danger and offloads to Dave Armstrong. Herd evades Borisc and follows the runner.

The next phase to be played from 34 metres on the Spartans side of the halfway line.

Dave Armstrong with the ball on the run here. He's already gained 10 metres. It looks like he's going to be tackled by Theo Miokovic but he manages to offload to Ben Jacobs in time.

The next phase to be played from 44 metres on the Spartans side of the halfway line.

Ben Jacobs with the ball on the run here. He's already gained 6 metres. Good Tackle by Dave Eggman and a ruck forms. The ruck forms just off the try line...

 

...NSW opt to spread the ball despite being so close to the line. The Victorian defense have spread well along the try line, and there's no overlap. The ball comes out to Herd on the wing, who runs at the line. Ben Storer comes across and makes the tackle. Herd has touched down though, but has he stayed in play?

The TMO asks for the replay

TRY to NEW SOUTH WALES!

Great effort that one.

Hunt with a tough conversion from out wide, brilliant kick!

VIC 0 - 12 NSW

 

I am such a dog to bet on a NSW player for first try haha. Carn Vics turn it around now!

 

Was a good tackle, but he didn't have enough room to play with.
