Panasonic dominate the opening scrum of the day and win a penalty in the process. Barnes has an opportunity to put some early points on the board.

Barnes employs a brilliant up and under, using the swirling wind, and forces a knock on as Gomoramu is unable to field it.

Barnes gets the match underway. Yamaha attempt to run the ball out of their own 22m but are met by a stiff defence and eventually clear the ball up field.

The teams are on the field, kickoff is seconds away.
