The Silktails found the lead for the first time in the game early in the second half when hooker Apimeleki Lutuimawi ran through to score and the try was converted by Vuate Karawalevu for a 16-12 lead.

However, the Wolves struck back with a converted try to regain the lead 18-16 before impressive Silktails centre Ratu Inoke Vasuturanga sliced through the defensive line to score with Karawalevu again adding the extra two points for a 22-18 lead with just 20 minutes remaining.

The Silktails extended the lead with a penalty to Karawalevu before the Wolves crossed against for a converted try five minutes from full time.

The Tagituimua led side could have sealed the win but they were unable to capitalize on any of their final opportunities.
