On a hot day in Sydney the team lined up to play the second match of tour. Once again we started brightly with Simon Huggy crossing the line for a try after 13 minutes to give us a 5-0 lead. Max Anglin missing the conversion. The sheer size of Endeavour put them on the front foot and they soon had narowed our lead, 5-3 , when we were pinged for killing the ball at the ruck. Whitgift reasserted their pressure and again it turned to points with Nick Burham scoring a superb solo effort, putting in a step Quade Cooper would be proud off. Whitgift then allowed a soft try in with several tackles missed. 10-10 at halftime.
We started the second half just as brightly as the first and had them pinned down deep in their 22'. We dominated the scrum with Elliott and Jonny M destroying boys twice their size up front. We were sadly not composed enough to convert our chances despite some excellent lines from Fritz and strong lines from Sully. Endevaour were far more clinical after capitalised on two opportunist moves to score tries. 10-20. In the end we could not keep up with the size and it remained 10-20 at the final whistle.
