FIRST HALFKick off to the Toyota Cup Raiders v Sharks at Toyota Stadium. Go mighty Raiders!
Still nill all in the Toyota cup after 9 mins both teams working their way into the match. Doyle has come off for the Raiders after a head knock but he should be ok after the cobwebs clear.
What a play! Milford sets up a great long range try for the Raiders with a great step and run then passing to the support player. Sharks looked to be in control but then Milford turns the tables. Raiders lead Sharks 6-0 after 14 mins in the u20s.
Wow, Raiders gift the Sharks an easy try off a penalty tap on the try line. Great defence from Canberra in the lead up but they switched off right at the wrong moment. 6 all after 22 mins.
Sharks score out wide after the ref gave them easy leg ups with penalties. Ref has not been kind to Raiders so far quite a few calls against us already including a shocking forward pass call. Morocco scores to make the score 10-6 after 28 mins. 100% of possession to the sharks in last 5 mins that never helps.
Sharks score after more possession. Raiders are making it easy for them at the moment there seems to be a lack of communication out there. Hasson is the try scorer. Errors and penalties (some wrong) are really hurting the Raiders. Sharks lead 16-6 in the Toyota cup.
Half time in the Toyota cup sharks lead Raiders 16-6. Canberra have been hurt by a severe lack of possession due to bad errors and bad ref calls but full credit to the Sharks they are playing well. Raiders will need to lift and be more deceplined in the second half.
SECOND HALFKick off to the second half of Toyota cup the Sharks lead Raiders 16-6.
Sharks score early in the second half after a poor end to the previous set by Raiders. The halfback scores his name is too long and hard to remember! Sharks lead 22-6 after 44 mins. Doyle not expected back for Raiders after first half head knock.
And out of nothing Milford steps up again and creates a Raiders try! Great ball for Allwood to break away and beat the fullback to score. Sharks lead 22-12 after 49 mins. Here we go!
Uiti baker off with possible leg injury.
Great try to Bradley for the Raiders off good play from Cornish. Raiders right back in it now Sharks lead 22-16 after 54 mins. Go boys!
Big Uiti baker is ok and back on the bike should be back soon.
Yes! Milford scores after Chee Kam made a break the play before. Great play by the Raiders to get back in it! Milford from right in front converts and it's back to all square at 22 all!
22 all with 20 mins to go. Game on in the Toyota cup!
Sharks score a freak rebound off a kick try out wide. Moroko scores his second for the game. Sharks retake lead 26-22 with 17 mins left.
