The Vixens tried to give the work the ball to Jo Weston on the transverse line as they aimed to enter the goal third, but she's been squished by two Thunderbirds players.

As a result she was unable to take the ball cleanly.

Thunderbirds are acting with more urgency and they race to the ball, pick it up and take it up their end to score, 49-44.

Right after that, the Vixens take their second timeout of the game with about 10 minutes left on the clock.

Captain Moloney leads the huddle:

"How much do we want this? How hard are we willing to work? In defence here we go hard. Contest. Rip it in, back each other."
