14-man Rams on the charge here. Plenty of phases

 

[kiap]

64 mins: Country get a penalty 7m out.

Go for the scrum

 

[kiap]

Another penalty

Should have been a penalty try.

Another 5m scrum.

Another penalty.

Another scrum.

 

[Wheatman]

Thought that scrum was more a penalty try than the previous. See what happens now.

 

[kiap]

Another penalty

 

[kiap]

Another scrum

Another penalty. The 145kg Rams' bench prop goes to the bin

 

[kiap]

Another scrum reset

 

[kiap]

Finally the ball comes out!

And Country knock on, Vola Vola clears!!

 

[Wheatman]

Crumbs, how many scrum penalties can you have? Bugger.

 

[kiap]

A bit more play and a Rams maul held up.

QC (Quade Cooper) scrum 22m out.

 

[Kate Elizabeth]

Crumbs, how many scrum penalties can you have? Bugger.

The Reds Brumbies game comes to mind - it felt like 27. So did this. And both without points.

 

[Colin Windon]

The Hoff will award himself man of the match. No rugby all whistle.

 

[kiap]

And the Rams get the scrum penalty!

 

[Wheatman]

Thought Rams should've got a scrum then. Another missed knock on. JJT in the corner!

 

[kiap]

JJ Taulagi scores with a bit of nifty footwork.

He probably owed one.

 

[kiap]

Brandon nails a conversion from the sideline!

24 - 13

74 mins

 

[kiap]

Rams on the attack in the last 4 mins.

But cough it up.

 

[kiap]

Country defence has been good.

 

[Tangawizi]

Good defense again from Country to keep the Rams out.

Qld Country are home now. Good first win considering the 2 blokes in the bin in the 1st Half.

 

[kiap]

Country pop their cherry

Final score 24 - 13
