That is the bonus point try for Auckland and is not good for Counties-Manukau who now can't make the play offs
Auckland clearly pushing for their 4th try and a bonus point win. Anscombe and Piutau running everything
Golden Oldies scrummaging as Northland have run out of trained props with John's replacement.
Fantastic ball retention and phase play by Auckland. They went through the motions and made the right decisions with what was in front of them. Very good team try
Tight passage of play between both sides as Auckland are happy to play the territory game and wait for Northland to attack
Northland on the charge now as they make it into Auckland's half but the home side do well to hold them up and win a turnover by forming a maul
Dan Pryor with the steal, passes to his brother who breaks away and passes to Ram who is well tackled by Anscombe. End to end stuff here
Kara Pryor steals the ball and offloads to brother Dan who sets up a ruck and Northland kick it clear
Anscombe gets the 2nd half started with a reasonably deep start taken in by Dan Pryor
Macilai has to turn and chase a kick and collects it but is very well taken down by Anscombe. He does equally well to not lose the ball and Northland kick it clear
