FIRST HALF:

Incredible opening stanza from both the #Jets and #PNGHunters. Jets freestyle putting pressure on #PNG early.
Adex Wera getting a loose pass and making a 60m run but a mistake hands the ball straight back to the Jets.
Wellington Albert TRY TIME for the #PNGHunters 4 against the #IpswichJets 0
Ase Boas kicks a penalty straight thru the sticks from in front. #PNGHunters 6 v #IpswichJets 0
#QLDPNGKokomos Pandia brothers, Richie and Seb, playing a key role in both the attack & defence for the #IpswichJets
Watson Boas kick & strong #PNGHunters defense catches the #Jets in touch and earn themselves a second set of six. #intrustsupercup
Seb Pandia gets pinned for offside and Ase Boas kicks the penalty.
PNGHunters 8 v Ipswich Jets 0
Classy show n go by Ase Boas makes the break & offloads to Adex Wera! TRY TIME!
 #PNGHunters 14 v #IpswichJets 0 – 16mins to Half Time.
Again an Ase Boas grubber & strong #PNGHunters defence earn them a second set of six. Boas hit by late shoulder charge.
Ase kick to Watson came close to another try but just failed to ground the ball.
Isreal Eliab scores out on the wing for #PNGHunters. Ase Boas adds the extras. #PNGHunters 20 v #IpswichJets 0
IntrustSuperCup HALF TIME SCORE: #PNGHunters 20 v #IpswichJets 0

Half Time Commentary:

The Ipswich Jets unique free style of play requires both speed and discipline in defence to keep them contained. Coach Marum has the Hunters defence doing both, effectively shutting down the Ipswich Jets in the first half.
In attack, the Hunters are working from wing to wing, everyone playing their part and being ably lead by their Captain, Ase Boas, who has clearly been marked for special attention from the Jets.
Let’s hope that they can maintain the rage in the second half!

SECOND HALF:

The Jets built up pressure and were just 3m out when an unforced dropped/forward pass let the Hunters off.
#IpswichJets got a roll on & looked set to score but a poor pass to Richie Pandia went over his head & a much needed try goes begging.
Both teams have played an incredibly fast and physical match and fatigue is starting to play a role in the game.
Dane Phillips scores the first try for the #IpswichJets with a well sold dummy.
#PNGHunters 20 v #IpswichJets 6.
PNGHunters conceding 10-15 metres/tackle as they drop both discipline & line speed & concede another try to #IpswichJets
PNG Hunters 20 v Ipswich Jets 12 – It is an 8 point game and the Jets are fired up.
Ase Boas Magic Boot earns the #PNGHunters another set of six with a well weighted kick into the in-goal area. Just 9mins left to go.
Ase Boas steps, weaves and SCORES! – And kicks the 2!
PNG Hunters 26 v Ipswich Jets 12
The Jets drag the ball over the line and concede the penalty.
TRY TIME to Bland Abavu! Boas adds the extras.
#PNGHunters 32 to #IpswichJets 12

FULL TIME SCORE: PNG HUNTERS 32 v IPSWICH JETS 12

Full Time Commentary:

PNG Hunters played a much better all round game. The 12 points from Ipswich being scored during a period when the defensive discipline and line speed from the Hunters lapsed but the Hunters were able to regroup, adapt and respond as needed.
Congratulations to all the #PNGHunter’s boys on a well constructed game against the #IpswichJets, a team known for its unique, rolling style of play!
