| 81 |  The referee signals the end of the match. Victory to the home side, with a score of 38 - 7. | |

| 75 | At the ruck, the CD. Veratense back rower is burrowing like a demented mole, the ball comes back safely on the CD. Veratense side. | |

| 67 | Silviu Mihai Balint puts it through the uprights for another two points. | |
| 66 | Aleksander Dopierała throws a nice pass to Ed Cloud, who muscles through the tackle of Ceferino Feijo before passing the ball to Thierry Würtz.

| 60 | Oh no! There is chaos on the field as the players start a punch up after a high tackle by Greg Gaudin on Ernesto Tapia. The referee seems happy enough with the challenge though and signals play on. Somebody better tell the players to put their handbags away. | |
| 59 | That's a lovely hanging kick by Stuart Pithey. Ernesto Tapia rises high above the CD. Veratense players to take the catch, giving Lionel Debarros no chance to contest. | |

| 49 | The ball is loose in open play and there is no offside as CD. Veratense pounce.. Turnover! | |
| 48 | There was no love lost there! Ŕngel Compte was smashed by Louison Guillard! Perfectly legal though. | |
| 47 | Stuart Pithey takes the kickoff, launching the ball high into the air over CD. Veratense stadium. Ŕngel Compte positions himself well, and takes the ball in the air right in front of Louison Guillard. Good hands from the Dunedain player there. | |
| 46 |  CD. Veratense are going nowhere from this move. Silviu Mihai Balint drops back and as the ball comes to him, kicks it straight between the uprights. Good move there, the try definitely wasn't coming and 3 points are better than none. | |
| 45 | Ruck. CD. Veratense get the ball from that one and their scrumhalf can be heard frantically giving his instructions for a new attack. | |

| 42 | Wow! Thats a huge pass from Octavian Lupu the ball must have travelled almost 30 meters through the air!

The Dunedain coaches won't be happy about that. | |
| 41 | That's a lovely hanging kick by Stuart Pithey. Octavian Lupu rises high above the CD. Veratense players to take the catch, giving Matteo Baert no chance to contest. | |
|
After the break, and CD. Veratense are just in front. There's still all to play for. The home crowd are going wild, to lift their team spirit.
| |

| 36 | Thats good ball off the top of the lineout for Dunedain. Ŕngel Compte taps the ball down to his scrum half. | |
| 35 | Nice breakthrough by Ciro Galante, who gets low and charges. He manages to stay on his feet and a maul ensues. 'Use it or lose it,' shouts the referee. They lose it. | |

| 29 | The CD. Veratense half backs pair up nicely with a deft little pass from Aleksander Dopierała to Silviu Mihai Balint, who then powers through the tackle of Stuart Pithey. He's in space, and sets off up the field. He's sprinting for the corner! It looks like he's going to make it, but with an impressive burst of speed, Stuart Pithey is sprinting back to cover. He dives depairingly and just manages a tap tackle that stops Silviu Mihai Balint 5 metres short of the try line! The rest of Dunedain's defence gets there and a ruck is formed. | |
| 28 | Both Louison Guillard and Greg Gaudin go up for this throw together, the contest for the ball is fierce but Louison Guillard descends with it firmly in his grasp. | |
| 27 | Sebastián Prado passes to Jaume Echeverría, but, despite his recent involvement in the local version of Dancing with the Stars, he doesn't have the silky smooth moves necessary to outstep Louison Guillard. | |
| 26 | That's a good steady scrum and a good feed by Dunedain. | |

| 19 | Great vision by Louison Guillard, he spots a slight dog-leg in the defensive line and spins a quick pass to Thierry Würtz who takes and gives in one movement creating the break for Silviu Mihai Balint. The cover is drawn in, and a well weighted pass to Ed Cloud allows him to cruise over the line for a well deserved five pointer. Even the Dunedain fans applaud that piece of quality rugby. | |

| 7 | Dunedain have an overlap on the right. Looks like they've spotted it too. Sebastián Prado fires a quick pass off to Jaume Echeverría who flicks the ball on to Lionel Debarros.
