Luke Jones loses the ball forward from the kickoff. Force have a scrum inside the Rebels 22m.

Halftime at the NIB stadium.

Debreczeni is penalised for being offside, Mathewson takes the penalty quickly and catches the Rebels defence napping as he easily gets over the line for the Force's opening try of the match. Seconds remaining in the first half.

The Force form a maul but it is well defended by the Rebels. They attempt to muscle their way over the line but the Rebels defence holds strong.

Concussion Test Reversal

The Rebels give away another penalty inside their own 22m, this time for going off their feet at the ruck. The Force opt not to take the 3 points once again. 5m lineout to follow.

The Force opt not to take the easy 3 points, but instead opt to set up a 10m lineout. It turns out to be a bad decision as Tessman's throw is skew. Lost opportunity for the Force.

Penalty to the Force in a very kickable position after a player was tackled without the ball.

6 minutes remaining in the first half. The Force have a lineout on the Rebels 10m line. They need to get some points on the board before halftime.

Tessmann gives a penalty away for not releasing the tackled player before going for the ball. Should be an easy 3 points for Mike Harris.
