ROUND 4, MATCH 3.

*This is a big one. Both teams have the ability to claim the top of the table in this match, and both teams are on excellent recent form. The Belacian home crowd is buzzing, but their is no shortage of Aussandrisian fans who have made the journey this evening. Expect a loud one. If this game is anything like the quality of the first two today, we are in for an absolute treat.*

11 mins - What a tense opening passage, with over ten minutes of continual play. The forwards look knackered already, but Aussandries has the opening penalty. 0 - 3.
17 mins - The crowd erupts for Belacian State's first score! Penalty! 3 - 3.
24 mins - Belacian States take the lead with a penalty! Yanure's form in this competition has been exemplary. 6 - 3.
25 mins - A high tackle gives Belacian States a yellow card. Penalty is kicked to the corner.
26 mins - It's a try! Aussandries score and retake the lead, in what could be a decisive moment in this first half! 6 - 10, after conversion.
31 mins - Incredible! Aussandries score again. This game is opening up, Belacian States need this halftime to recuperate, if they can hang on. The yellow card runs out in 4 minutes. Converted once again, this lead is opening up. 6 - 17.

40 mins - The scoreline does not quite reflect the quality of the Belacian game. If anything, they've looked dominant for most of the open play of this match. Nevertheless, Aussandries capitalised well on the yellow card, and maintain a lead.

42 mins - Straight out of the gate, Belacian States have a long-awaited try! The conversion is missed, however. 11 - 17.
