Match Notes

This match was originally scheduled to kick-off at 5.30pm, but with thousands of spectators stranded in queues outside the ground, it was delayed by 15 minutes to give people more time to get in. The League ordered the gates for the outer ground to be opened to the public 10 minutes prior to half time.

Note: Forward packs are listed in reverse order.
