23' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
28' 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 Lewis Baker suffering a number of foals already.

38' Scott McKenna has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 28 cards already picked up this season.
