Good on ya lads
Southland left it late but 20 unanswered points in the last 16 minutes stole the game away from the Steamers. After being obliterated at the breakdown and by the ref, things seemed to be on the up after Dixon did superb off the base of an attacking scrum to pull back 5 points. But when McKenzie scored only 2 minutes later it looked as if Southland had turned the tables. A penalty a few minutes later really sealed the deal the away side! Fantastic game!
Willie Ripia attempts to clear his lines but Black, the new man, is in front of the kicker and concedes the penalty.
7 mInutes left as Southland attack the BOP 22.
Who jumped on the 5/1 odds for Southland to win only 10 minutes ago!?!
A massive shift in momentum. After conceding an endless number of penalties, Southland swing things around with 2 tries and a penalty
What a turn around! The visitors break out on a counter. A chip through is hacked on by McKenzie who has the gas to out pace the cover to dive on the ball for a try!
Dixon does fantastically to pick from a scrum which was going backwards at a rate of knots. BOP were committed to the scrum so when he picked he had a clear run to the line.
Ball held up under the posts, scrum 5 Southland
Southland earn a penalty after turning over a lineout. Scott Eade pings it to the corner. Southland on the attack.
