2018 NRC Round 3: Canberra Vikings vs Western Force

The Vikings were just too good in this game as they held out to hand the Western Force their first loss of the 2018 NRC season. Last year's finalists got on the scoreboard first through Andy Muirhead in the 5th minute of the game before Chris Alcock responded in the 19th minute off the back of a powerful scrum. Jordan Jackson-Hope scored a blinder just three minutes later with Wharenui Hawera converting the try a penalty soon after. Henry Taefu got one back for the visitors in the 37th minute before Brynard Stander put the visitors ahead at the break with a try on the stroke of half time. Andy Muirhead doubled up just after the hour mark before Hawera scored another to push Canberra's lead out to 10 points. The Force failed to score a single point in the second half despite their best efforts.
