Manawatu move to the top of the Championship with this win and their 2nd Premiership scalp of the 2014 campaign

Booth with an unbelievable break and he runs 30m to find his support runner, Chris Eves the replacement prop in support. Eves showed some great pace and brilliant hands as he squeezes his pass out the back to Emery who goes for gold but is just bundled into touch

Otere Black slots that one and opens up an unassailable lead for Manawatu. Great victory for the Turbo's but they still have work to do as Counties are on the attack

Ultimate Rugby Sep 9

Referee taking the opportunity to see the tackle on Nanai-Williams by Tudreu which was touch and go and was bordering on a foul but was ok. No complaints from any of the players.

Ultimate Rugby Sep 9

Booth takes all the pressure off his side as he puts in an inch perfect kick deep into the CM half. Counties take the quick throw but the pass from Nanai-Williams goes forward.

Ultimate Rugby Sep 9

Important miss that for Balck and the Turbo's as that keeps Counties in with a sniff of winning this game still. They can feel it too and have increased the intensity a touch. 6 minutes to go

Ultimate Rugby Sep 9

Counties string some good phases together and keep a cool head as they work some space for their flanker as he goes over on a crash ball 3m out

Ultimate Rugby Sep 9

Stowers with a clean break and as he runs into contact he throws a very loose pass and the Turbo's regain it and kick it down field. Wasted ball for Counties

Ultimate Rugby Sep 9

20 minutes to go and Counties can not seem to get a grip on this game after having some dominance in the set pieces early on. Manawatu have done well to stick it out and use what they have and well

Ultimate Rugby Sep 9

Milner-Skudder with a brilliant break out of nothing. He is penalised for not letting the ball go as he is tackled for the second time. Great play that
