The Spears fullback wasn’t finished just yet, playing a huge part in a try on the stroke of halftime.
The halftime hooter had already sounded, but Stevenson wasn’t content with just kicking it out and sending the teams into the sheds, starting a counter-attack from his own half.
Stevenson saw the space in and around the Sungoliath breakdown, stepping off his left foot and taking the opportunity to break the line.
The fullback beat a couple of defenders before throwing a basketball-type pass to Bernard Foley, who quickly shifted it on to Rikus Pretorius, who found his way to the line.
Stevenson and the Kubota Spears currently sit second on the Japan Rugby League One table, and will travel to the Mie Honda Heat on Sunday, January 11, for their round four matchup.
Kolbe’s Tokyo Sungoliath side has the tough job of hosting Ardie Savea, Brodie Retallick, and Anton Lienert-Brown’s Kobelco Kobe Steelers next Saturday.
