Fisihoi running like a backline player in the midifeld as bursts through a gap and throws an outrageous dummy. Buckman brings him down

Set piece ball and good ball too. Great fend in the backs as they are centimeters short. West is out wide and dives over

Missed tackles in the middle of the park allows a good offload to Nemani who has a bit of work to do to run in and score for the Steamers
