It's a short kickoff from Waite who manages to steal the ball back

What a play from Manukau! Nanai-Seturo charges Waite's kick down but the ball travels out before Manukau steal it. They get extremely close but struggle to get over the line for a short while before finally pushing over in the hands of O'Donnell

Taranaki show some great patience in working for their try and recycling the ball. Wanui makes a run from deep and powers over the line for Taranaki's first points of the game!

Sonny Bill Williams gets a good start as he announces his presence. He breaks the line to get the momentum going and then sends it to Kuridrani who manages to take it over the line for Manukau!
