As the Ref’s whistle blows
The field’s filled with blue, maroon,
The first hit-up thunders
Defense is torn asunder.
A fifty meter dash
Then they play the ball too fast
Stumble and knock it on
And the scrum, a try comes from.

4 points with kick to come.

Straight over the black dot.

6 to zip.

Restart at the fifty
And caught upon the twenty,
Run back and hit by three
Dislocating a blue knee,
Carted away for aid
As the play resumes again,
And Queensland throws it wide
In the corner scores a try.

4 points with kick to come.

Black dot missed, now half-time.

6 to 4.

As the Ref’s whistle blows
40 minutes left to go,
Tackle after tackle
To have the series shackled,
They need to score once more,
A penalty before
The siren screams the finish
And in the dying minutes…

6 All.

Golden point, extra time
Scoring first to take the line,
The pill blurs in motion
And scores in a blue ocean,
Well the toads win again
At the moment 6 to 10
With the kick still to come
6 to 12, the comp is done.
