His consistency and leadership on the court pushed Arasina in the 3rd quarter to a 42-17 lead.
Dazzer played a quiet game with national rep Waige Turueke playing a very cautious game and at times enlightened the crowd when he got his hands on the ball. The national players in the team were also injury conscious as they prepared to tour Australia this week.
