Not a particularly enthralling start, the two teams going set for set.

Tony Puletua picks up what appears to be a shoulder injury and leaves the field.

After a good run from Lance Hohaia, Saints pressure forward with James Roby and Sia Soliola. Ade Gardner takes the next drive and earns a penalty right on the Cas line but picks up a knock for his trouble. Gardner fit to carry on.

I wonder if it's that shoulder he's has op on last year and as I says after the Catalan game has been having trouble with it.

Left shoulder?

Saints' set fizzles out and ends up with the ball being kicked dead.

Trying to picture which shoulder it was. I think it was his left.

Gary Wheeler manages to jink his way around one defender and get the ball away, the ball is worked to Ade Gardner who manages to squeeze in the tightest of corners and after deliberation between Silverwood and the touch judge the try is given.

It's his left he's gone off with today so could very well be.

Gary Wheeler steps up to take the conversion but gets nowhere near.
