But the momentum shifted once again into the Warriors’ favour. Addin Fonua-Blake scored a well-deserved try to cap off an enormous performance before Roger Tuivasa-Sheck turned back the clock as he beat four players in the lead-up to a Dallin Watene-Zelezniak try.
Inspirational Tigers skipper Api Koroisau scored on the buzzer but it was too little, too late.
