An entertaining first of rugby between these two sides. Bay of Plenty have shown their strength up front with two of their first three tries coming from their dominance, particularly at scrum time.

Meanwhile, Waikato have shown how dangerous they are with ball in hand especially when they can get it to star centre Quinn Tupaea. Stay with us for what should be a stellar second 40.

Some great interplay between the forwards go the Mooloos on the front foot before Reihana throws a nice skip ball out to Sullivan who links up brilliantly with Tupaea who beats a few defenders to score a great try

An overthrown lineout goes to the Bay of Plenty and Blake gives it to his speedster and Ravouvou busts through a gap and runs over 50 metres to score a stellar solo try.

The Bay's pack go to work from the lineout and drive towards the line with pick and drives. Geledenhuys was heavily involved in the build up and the tighthead drove it from about 4 metres out to score.

MASSIVE SCRUM!!!!

Judd snipes from the back of an outstanding scrum by the Bay and the lively halfback beats Sweeney off the back to score.

The pressure finally tells for Waikato as Taukei'aho carries strongly drawing in three defenders, Stratton does superbly well to spin it out to Fletcher Smith who throws a really nice skip ball out to Quinn Tupaea who finishes off the try out wide.
