‘Take the ball’: Gutho and Tigers young gun’s fiery post-match exchange

With 10 seconds on the clock, Kepaoa attempted to make a last-ditch attempt to steal the ball from centre Will Penisini.

Gutherson then walked straight towards the Tigers No.2, tapping the ball on his chest and saying “take the ball”.

Kepaoa slapped it out of his hands before turning his back on his opponent who clapped his hands and smiled with teammate Bryce Cartwright.
