Tom Banks scores a consolation try on 80 for Qld Country. to take it to 66-36
And then conversion misses. Thats all she cried.
Spirit WIN 66-36 and moved into the Top 4 on the table.
This Dwyane Nestor bloke appears to be one of the best coaches employed by rugby WA.
If you look at results, that is.
C'mon the
Geez, what a game! 102 pts must be close to an NRC match record.
Morahan, Louwrens, Vasukicakau, Koteka and Matuauto were excellent.
Erasmus looked like cake against Tupou. Brache was a mixed bag too.
Great game but QC looked as though they were going to ream the Spirit with possession for about 20 mins in the first half then the boys woke up and the rest is history!
Interesting seein Pulver on the hill. He seemed to enjoy the game and appeared to be cheering on the Spirit.
May the FORCE be with you!
Some good broken play and sharp individual skills but the set piece was terrible and the scrum got absolutely destroyed.
Wests Scarborough 1st Grade juggernaut has played finals rugby each and every year since its inception and continues this remarkable feat yet again this season and unbelievably it's still rolling on and as an added little circle jerk for the masses Wests actually hold the record for the current longest unbroken finals record.
Quade Cooper seemed very quiet, not many people talking to him, but Adam was getting lots of attention! Haha!
And if that wasn't a perfect showpiece game for Luke to show off and put a question mark on why he isn't in the wallabies run on team!
BTW - how did Meakes pull-up, hope he's ok.
Scrum turned to shit in the 2nd half when Erasmus came on. He got owned by the tongan thor.Originally Posted by westies man

Perth Spirit can fly under the radar no more, with a completely dominant nine tries to five 66-36 bonus point win over Queensland Country in Perth.
The win consolidates the Spirit’s spot in the Buildcorp NRC top four, but came after seeing literally no ball for much of the first quarter of play at UWA Sports Park.
Second half tries to Spirit scrumhalf Ryan Louwrens and winger Marcel Brache sealed the win soon after the break, after which fatigue from all the first half defence began to take a toll.
Luke Morahan crossed for a second half double – and a game treble - to give Wallabies coach Michael Cheika a nice selection headache ahead of the South African tour.
Queensland Country ran in tries to replacement hooker Feleti Kaitu’u, centre Duncan Paia’aua, backrower Jack Cornelsen, and fullback Tom Banks after the siren to add some respectability to the final scoreline.
