- 28' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 33' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Guus Til suffering a number of foals already.
