A remarkable try-saving tackle from Ipswich Jets winger Ratu Jope Rotavisoro in the dying seconds has seen the Central Queensland Capras record their second draw of the season at Browne Park.
After the Capras led 16-2 for nearly 60 minutes of the contest, the Jets clawed their way back into the contest and looked to have sealed the comeback when Josh Cleeland knocked over a field goal in the 77th minute.
However, the Capras got the ball back from the kick off and from the ensuing set, the ever calm Jack Madden stepped up to level the game with less than two minutes left to play.
A penalty to the Capras off the short kick off gifted the home side one final set to try and register their first win of the season.
With only seconds left on the clock, Madden’s field goal attempt was charged down but the ball ricocheted off legs straight into the path of a flying Jack Gibbons, who looked certain to score only to be brought down inches from the try line in one of the all-time try savers by Jets winger Ratu Jope Rotavisoro.
As the Jets scrambled to organise their defensive line, Capras rake Liam Horne opted for the all-or-nothing play and tried to barge over from dummy half, only to be held up for what was the final play of the game.
