Exhilarating start in this game with a terrific crowd.
Dragons scored two good tries to start with. Farrah dumped a Dragon on his neck in a very dangerous tackle. Blair also on report. Tigers just got back into the game with a try in the corner from a kick through. Commentators argued about whether there was separation or not.
Marshall coverted from the touchline.
The scoreboard tells the story:

Dragons 12 - 6 Tigers after 26 minutes.
