He was involved in the hosts’ first try of the night, carrying off a lineout play, before Lalakai Foketi put Kyren Taumoefolau away in the corner,…

Queensland were able to make it an interesting game for the first 45 minutes of play and it was all thanks to their loose forwards, as McReight again showed his class in a losing effort. It was another big 80-minute shift from the Wallaby openside, and he left his mark on attack and defence, racking up nine carries for one line break and two…

The Force failed to pick up the bonus point in their win over the Fijian Drua on Saturday, meaning their finals hopes are officially over, but Vaiolini Ekuasi can again hold his head high after his shift. One of the Force’s top players this season, Ekuasi gave another tireless 65-minute performance, and while he’s usally a standout on the attacking side of the ball, it was defensively where the former Blues and Rebels No.8 shone. Ekuasi completed a whopping 26 tackles, with the Drua enjoying 54% possession, and he was a big part of the hosts’ ability to hold the…
