- 36' Goal! Gwion Edwards scores his 18 goal in 358 matches.
- 37' Ethan Robson was booked on 37.
- 42' 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 Jordan Gabriel suffering a number of foals already.
