Papatoetoe 36 Cambridge 8

Another disappointing first half performance saw Papatoetoe having to take a big look at themselves at half time before they salvaged some pride with an improved performance in the second half. The scoreline indicates a dominant performance but once again Papatoetoe failed to complete strike moves in the red zone. Cambridge with a young team stuck to their task for the whole game and caused problems especially around the edges of the rucks where they caught the Papatoetoe defensive system sleeping several times.

Captain Greg Foe led from the front and was backed up in the forwards by Sione Tonga and Taulima Latu, whilst in the backs Henry Pouniu and Sam Tulemoe were the stand out performers. It was also pleasing to see Sami Tu'itupou and James Faiva come through their comeback game unscathed.

Once again a big improvement will be needed when Papatoetoe travel to take on Tauranga Boys on Tuesday in their last pre season game.
