- 15' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 20' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 25' 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 Nathaniel Mendez-Laing suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' Elliott Nevitt has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 35' Luke Offord needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
