Massive opening 25 from the home side who racked up 22 points with relative ease. Reddan and Madigan pulling the strings at halfback off the back of front foot ball. Some real power in the tight and at the set-piece, the scrum in particular earning them a penalty try.

Visitors have come back into the game but a long way to go if they are to mount any serious challenge to Matt O'Connor's men. Stay tuned for the second half.
