Fultime - That's a wrap and an 11 tries to 4 win for the Bunnies and their seventh win on the bounce while the Warriors lose their seventh in a row.
78mins - Walker grubbers on the last and Montoya is tackled in the in-goal. Line dropout.
75mins - Try Souths: Latrell Mitchell - Short side on the last as Cook fires a pass to a charging Mitchell who powers under a couple of defenders to score. STH 60-22

67mins - Warriors attacking with intent but Walsh's short ball is put down by Sironen on halfway.
65mins - Try Warriors: Reece Walsh - Townsend with the hook kick for a flying Reece Walsh from 30 out and he scores under the posts. Mitchell hit him with a leg to the shoulder late but it looks like it was an accident. STH 50-22

50mins - Cross kick from Walker but Watene-Zelezniak plucks the ball out of the sky to save the day for the Warriors who work the ball out from their 10.
48mins - Townsend looks for an offload and coughs the ball up on tackle three. Souths back with the ball and they earn a six again.

45mins - Fonua-Blake powers over halfway with a 20m run but he looks for an offload and the ball goes to ground. Bunnies om the attack.
44mins - Mitchell runs on the last but there is no way through Fonua-Blake and that's a handover.
42mins - Try Souths: Jaydn Su'a - Short ball from Cook to Su'a 15m out and he runs straight at and over Walsh and powers over for a try. STH 40-16
41mins - Underway in the second-half. Souths working the ball out well. Mitchell looks for a quick pass on the last but the ball goes to ground - off a Warrior though.
Second-half: That 10-point streak for the Warriors gives them a very minor sniff. They will have to defend with intent, which they haven't so far. But three tries in 10 completed sets is something to take into the second spell.
