🏉 MAJOR LEAGUE RUGBY

• Quote: "With the clock in the red, Coleman would score a consolation try for ATL, the 32-year-old so exhausted by his exploits across the game that he handed Ryan Nell the final kick of the game, his countryman adding the conversion," wrote Joe Harvey.  

• Quote: "Continuing his rich vein of form, Alatimu would nail another penalty with the 80-minute mark in sight, the 29-year-old slotting all of his kicks in the game," wrote Joe Harvey.  

• Quote: "Captaincy can be something that can deter your play on the field, because you are so worried about things outside of your control that you forget about what you are doing, but for me I find that it actually helps me be pretty centered," said Josh Larsen. “It gives me confidence in the various things I am doing or might take my mind off something I have done wrong or when I am helping others.”
