Reds knock on 10 out. Canes clear to the Reds half.........then Walsh bizarrely calls it back for the knock on. And apologies to the Canes for it. Strong Reds scrum drive the Canes back, but Slipper is penalised for driving inwards. Looked fair enough. Canes lineout 40 out from their own...

Genia runs on......... .........to give out some water. Reds get another penalty off the lineout for Eaton coming in the side of the maul. They kick to the Canes 22.

Canes fluff the linout, Reds get a scrum. Reds get a penalty from the scrum for Franks collapsing. Not sure, as the Canes got a good shove on before the ball was fed. Lucas in trouble with a shoulder problem.

Canes knock on 5m out, and Lucas clears to 10 from the halfway.

Perenara grubbers to 10m out from the Reds tryline after they go nowhere in field Lucas with a poor clearance from the lineout to the 22.

From the lineout 20m out, the Reds forwards drove through the Canes forwards to about 3 out before that try. Canes forwards need to stop the drive. Cooper's conversion fades just across the front of goal. 11 - 9 after 24.

Looks good, Ioane off the ground puts the ball down just inside the field. Clever switch from Lucas to Ioane after the Reds piggies drove the Canes backwards.

Ioane in the corner after good work from the piggies. Will go to the TMO.

Reds good pressure from the kickoff see Perenara with a poor clearing kick to the 22 from the first ruck.

Barrett finally gets another. 9 - 6 for the Canes. 21 gone. Penalty fest so far.

Walsh blows another penalty for offside out wide. Must have been a call from the AR. Bit weird, had no effect on the game at all.

Walsh blows a penalty for Reds going off their feet in the ruck after Savea puts in an excellent tackle from a box kick. Toua caught out there, should have supported Shipperly for a pass, instead entered the ruck and got cleaned out by Savea. Barrett hits the post, no goal.

F'Sautia dragged into touch by Savea on the ground. Very strong play from Savea.

Canes go early. Cooper gives a slightly forward pass to Taps who makes a half break, but ref misses it.

Lucas with a sad attempt at an inside flick from the ruck. Went to no-one.

Shocker from Barrett goes well wide. Wobbly horror kick. Reds take a quick 22 and regather.

Clever mid field grubber from Cooper nearly puts Ioane away but the ball beats him into touch. Reds steal the lineout, then knock on. Canes kick through and S. Finger and Cooper take out a chaser. Canes penalty 38 out, bit on the side.

BTW, that was the sixth penalty in the first 10 minutes. Very stop and start. Barrett kicks the penalty. 6 all.

9 minutes in, and the Canes have their first attacking ball, from a lineout. Penalty advantage to the Canes already for offside. Barrett misses a drop goal attempt.

When the player is isolated like that, I think it's fine if the ref gives the benefit of the doubt to the attacking team, which Walsh did. Hopefully both teams settle.
