Game is about to start... will update as often as I can.

Not the best of starts... Horua penalised. 'not through the gates'

[Jess]

Force scrum lost, turnover for the Lions.

[Jess]

Lions knock on. Our scrum about 15 metres out from the line. Scrums not looking too hot so far.

[Jess]

Lions penalised following second scrum collapse, Force then penalised for not releasing the ball. Very backwards and forwards at the moment. No one seems to have control over this game yet. Here's hoping we're just settling in.

[Jess]

Great offload by Cummins after drawing the 2 defenders on the wing. Easy run to the line for Shepherd.

Conversion attempt being taken by Gits...

(think i'll just update when there is a score change... it's hard to keep up with the game while typing... fast paced game but pretty scrappy so far.)
