Another offside at the ruck gives Banks another opportunity to help his team edge closer.

Tamanivalu hands off one, changes hands and hands off another, but then overcooked his kick and put it out on the full. Great skill and strength shown by him though.

Banks and Lowe link up to break up the field. Tasman get a penalty on the 22m for offside.

Penalty to Tasman on the halfway line, to the left of the poles. Banks lines up a long one.

Tasman were pushing hard in the opening minutes, Smylie turned it over, McKenzie spotted nobody home and sent it long. Ngatai chased and the bounce went in his favour, and he got over to score a cracking counter attack.

40 minutes until we see who will be crowned the Premiership Champions.

Concussion reversal

Cowan has passed the concussion test. It looks like he'll be joining us again in the second half.

What a ridiculous half of rugby. If anything, it has been too intense. It has been so end-to-end, neither team has been able to gather any real momentum. That being said, it has been very entertaining for the neutral. Let's hope that the second half brings as much intensity as the first did.

Siren sounds, but Tasman keep pushing for that try before half time.
