Great work by Kahukura as he breaks down the touch line after Manawatu fail to field a high kick by Sopoaga. The ball was recycled quickly and sent to the middle of the field with a long pass to Morgan Mitchell who throws a pin point long skip pass to Elliot Dixon out side to score. Unbelievable skills by the young prop
Silly by Southland as they try to run it out from deep in their own 22. Manawatu were excellent on defence and spotting the Southland plan and closing it down. The pressure forced the mistake and Tudreu goes over
Sopoaga fields a terrible pass and he kicks it clear from in his try area. It doesn't go out and the Turbo's are on attack again. How much longer can Southland take this pressure?
Southland lose it out the scrum from a dropped pass and Manawatu kick it ahead and Southland end up carrying it over and dotting it down over their own line. 5m attacking scrum to the Turbo's
Milner-Skudder injects pace into the line and runs into space after some great work by both the Tudreu brothers. The Turbo's fullback knocks it on as he holds on to the ball a touch too long before passing
go manuwatu
Bedwell-Curtis earns himself a 5 pointer from a line out drive and Manawatu Turbo's extend their lead
Tough call by the referee there on Dixon as he was second into the contact and Tudreu seemed to be ducking a touch. Either way he has 10 minutes in the bin to stew over it
TMO ruling on a high tackle - possible card but unlikely you would feel after viewing it
Both sides guilty of letting the ball bounce and putting themselves under pressure
