It was a tough start for the Group 20 side as they lost Ben Vearing for the afternoon with a shoulder injury after he was hit late after kicking the ball on the final tackle while Benji Maiva was also taken from the field with a knee issue.
Group Nine took full advantage with Liam Wiscombe able to take the lead after bursting through the Group 20 defence, but it was short lived as Mitchell Monaghan scored for the Razorbacks to make it 6-6.
The visitors were able to score three tries to head into the break with the ascendancy.
James Hay was able to cross underneath the post to restore the lead for Group Nine while Casey Wall scored two in quick succession to see the visitors head into halftime with a 24-6 lead over Group 20.
The second half almost got off to the worst start imaginable as James Girdler, and Josh Lavemai got in each others way underneath the high ball, but they were bailed by a covering tackle from Ben Tamanisave.
Group Nine were able to extend their lead in the second half as Troy Barby wriggling his way through the Group 20 side’s defence to get the ball down before Lavemai score in the corner to reduce the gap to 30-10.
The game was wrapped up for the visiting side with James Smith throwing a dummy which created a gap for him to run into and score and in doing so wrapped up the 34-10 victory for Group Nine.
