Momentum continuing to favour the visitors, with the Force scrum putting plenty of pressure on the Reds pack.
Leroy Houston drops the ball with the tryline beckoning after Reds halfback Ben Lucas made the initial bust and found Berrick Barnes in support. Houston dropped a perfectly thrown inside ball to bomb a certain Reds try at the 9 minute mark.
