Folau takes the hit up from the scrum and Parra continue to play down their right.

They centre the ball through Raelli before Lussick darts from dummy half on the fourth.

Dockar-Clay bombs it towards the sticks on the last but it is too deep to contest and Parra have to settle with tackling the #5.

Davis has to retrieve a great kick from his goal line and Parra have plenty of work to do in this set to get into a good position.

St George defend very well and Dockar-Clay is forced to put in a kick from deep in his half.

The Dragons let it bounce and it turns back towards the Eels and I believe it is Tagilima and Markus that take turns booting it on the ground towards the goal line.

The St George fullback ends up with the ball and surges 30m up field in the broken play.

Parra scramble well in the following tackles before the Dragons are pinged for a forward pass.

Frenetic stuff.

Parra go very close down their right before Davis looks to have scored next to the posts!

Alas, the fill-in fullback loses the ball over the line and St George dodge a bullet.

St George scrum 10m from their goal line.

St George ruck it out this set before surprisingly gambling on running it on the last.

They are very lucky to get six again after a Parra hand found the ball in a tackle and then quickly pick up a penalty to get into Parra's redzone.

Bit of fortune for the Dragons there.

The Dragons come towards the posts but Parra are able to repel them, before some defenders fall off the #12. he heads back towards the left, dragging plenty of defenders with him before offloading.

Parra are able to pull the support runner down but now they are desperately short on their left and the Dragons know it.

They spread it to that edge as quickly as possible but I believe it was their fullback who got greedy and opted to run it on an angle rather than pass it. He realises that the defence will get him so he looks to finally pass it to support but Fabian Goodall sweeps in for the for the intercept and the huge winger flies downfield to score a massive try.

Twelve point turn around for sure there and very selfish stuff by the St George player.

Conversion successful from Davis

Half Time

Parra lead St George 20-4

The trainer is out for St George and I beleive he called for the wingers to swap.

The Dragons look for a 40/20 but both Lavaka and Davis are back to stop it.

The ball bounces back towards the chasers but Davis moves up to secure it.

Parra ruck it up the middle though Mauala and Raelli before Clay sends up another bomb.

Folau gives chase and although he doesn't contest the ball he does nail the fullback.

Poor stuff from Davis there as he lets the St George bomb bounce. He miraculously manages to beat the chasers to the pill and drag it in after diving on it.

Parra struggle for go forward in the resulting set, they are missing Kelepi's presence at the moment before Lussick kicks and finds the Dragon's winger on the full.

St George drill their way to our 20m line before a deft grubber is threaded into our in goals.

Davis swings around and does a sterling job of fighting his way out. He looks to have made it at one point but the St George defenders close in on him and force him back in goals.

Parra have to scramble to defend some second phase play but do so before St George score off a terrible pass.

The ball went nearly 20m out the back from a stray pass but Parra didn't push up in a line and Wes Lolo (#11) made them pay as he stepped inside our right-edge defenders before overpowering Davis at the last line of defence.

Really poor stuff from Parra.

Conversion is successful

St George trail Parra 12-20

47min gone.
