- 19' 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 Joe Mendes suffering a number of foals already.
- 24' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Daniel Sousa will be considering his options from the bench.
