The Magpies on the attack again deep in the Stags 22 but a wayward pass looses a few metres.

West brings the game back to within one score with a very well taken penalty.

Willis Halaholo goes over untouched. Off the top of a lineout McKenzie feeds the center who cut a lovely line to ghost through the defence and steps the last man to dot down for a well taken try.

Shout to any of the boys in Farrenboley who jumped on that tip!

Great start to the 2nd half for the home side. Hardie shipped a high tackle but as advantage was being played the Stags looked good with a number of offloads.

Looking good for your tip sir!

HT time here at Rugby Park. It really is edge of your seats stuff as both sides have had chances to cut loose. The Stags managed to sneak over in the corner just on the buzzer which will give them confidence coming out for the 2nd half. The second 40 is poised to be hotly contested as both sides will be pushing for that all important home semi final.

The decision to turn down the kick at goal is completely justified as John Hardie cross off the back of a rolling maul.

Lineout to the Stags on the Magpies line. Last play of the 1st half.

Southland take the ball off the top of a lineout and feed McKenzie. A deft pass inside from the fly half put Cornforth into space. Hall was in support but didn't have the pace to finish from 20m. But the pressure pays as the Stags earn a penalty and go to the corner
