The Indigenous team claimed a second-straight – and dramatic – women’s All Stars win, scoring a last-minute penalty through Lailani Montgomery to defeat the Māori 20-18.
Bunker official Matt Noyen awarded a penalty for the Indigenous team and Montgomery nudged the ball through the sticks to seal the win.
Jaime Chapman was next to breach the Māori line, the Gold Coast flyer chiming in from deep to push the Indigenous All Stars further ahead.
The Titans speedster’s effort seemed to spark the Māori into life and in the space of 10 minutes, they sliced through the Indigenous line on three separate occasions.
The Indigenous side’s victory was all the more impressive given starting standoff Kirra Dibb failed to finish the match due to an ankle injury.
