45' The whistle greets Tom Bayliss as he departs to be replaced by Ryan Bowman.
50' 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 Taylor Perry suffering a number of foals already.
