Bulldogs fullback Jake Averillo crossed for his side’s first of the night, running onto a Aaron Schoupp short ball.

Mick Potter’s side charged at the Warriors line, with Matt Burton breaking through before Averillo crossed.

“Matt Burton going so close on the previous play… good heads up play by Averillo,” Smith said.

Only moments later, the Warriors scored off the back of a scrum with Reece Walsh finding Edward Kosi in space.

“He is a class player Reece Walsh, that was beautifully done, he just skips on the outside,” Shane Flanagan said.

“That is all class from Reece Walsh.”

6TH MINUTE

The Warriors have opened the scoring courtesy of a Shaun Johnson short ball to find Viliami Vailea.

The 19-year-old crossed for an untouched try in his return to the New Zealand side after suffering a broken jaw.

The Bulldogs now trail 12-0 on return to Mt Smart Stadium, having played their last game across the Tasman in Round 1, 2019.

“Broken jaw, has been out now for the best part of ten games,” Warren Smith said.

Only moments later, veteran winger Dallin Watene-Zelezniak intercepted a Matt Burton pass to cross untouched from 90 metres out

“He is a real pro of wing play, a great carrier and he can still scoot,” Smith said.

“He’d have been a great decathlete, he has speed, he has power and great jumping ability.”

PRE-MATCH WRAP

The Bulldogs will make the trip abroad to New Zealand for the first time since Round 1, 2019 for their clash against the Warriors.

Kiwi-born players Jeremy Marshall-King, Jackson Topine, Zach Dockar-Clay and Raymond Faitala-Mariner will make a big homecoming to face their rivals across the Tasman.

Mick Potter’s Canterbury-Bankstown side will be without star enforcer Tevita Pangai Junior for family reasons, shifting Faitala-Mariner to lock.

An hour before kick-off, Potter also made a late change, shifting Harrison Edwards into the starting side in place of Jack Topine.
