Both teams went into the match hard, with tough & physical runs from both sets of forwards, namely, Edson Neves, Dominic Stuivenberg, Mauricio Gomez Pazos and Niels Frelink. The Wolves leading at the break, 12-0. Starting the second half with a man in the sin bin, Zwolle improved their attacking dominance, with some incredible rugby league flair to race in try after try to 40-0. A late consolation from Stuivenburg, resulting in a win for the Wolves at 40-4, keeping them undefeated and top of the league.
