That's it and Waikato's defence holds out well. Great bit of counter rucking at the end saved them after Counties made a break

Counties are running this ball from behind their try line as the clock tics passed the 80 minute mark

Pulu with his second as he took the ball off a line out and faked to pass out wide, instead he steps off his right and sprints through the gap to score

Pulu with the pick and drive try and a great piece of sniping by the 9

Quick hands and pure pace outside for Weber gives Waikato their bonus point try and him his 3 rd

Great long range try by the new man and he manages to convert his own 5 pointer to give Countie their first points of the game

Counties field the ball after a kick and are under pressure as they kick it clear. The ball goes straight to Uhila and he plucks it well out of the air and barges his way forward. Unfortunate accidental offsides ends the attack

Tim Nania-Williams is slowly but surely settling into this game and as expected is the catalyst in any of the Counties Manukau attacks

Great break by Stowers from a standing start with no space to work with. He set up good front foor ball & Firth knocks on. Waikato scrum

Counties on attack but Ahki drops the pass sent to him and Joe Webber is there to toe it forward, pick it up and go over for Waikato's 3 rd try
