Harrison scored a try in the NSW Country under 16s’ 46-10 win over the hosts at Apia Park, the damaging backrower inflicting plenty of pain on the Samoans off the bench.
Harrison was a late inclusion in the side, a worthy one though considering his form for Western Rams at the country championship.
