All square at the half
- under very wet conditions
- a playing surface which might end up resembling a ploughed field
- with a Reds team that is relying heavily on the rolling maul
- and a Drua side that's chucking the ball around but using its muscle when it has to

The 2nd half should be very interesting...

Lovely chip that was misfielded by the Reds full back and the Drua ties the game up at 17.

5 minutes before half time.

James O'Connor pads the lead to 5 after the Drua were penalised for slowing the ball down in front of their own posts.

But Queensland batter the Drua up front and go up 14-12 after 23.

So Fiji using their piano players and Queensland utilising their piano shifters.

The Drua give the ball some width and go over in the corner

Drua 12-7 after 18.
