The wind is terrible as the kick seemed to have enough on it but landed about 10 meters short

Damian McKenzie was instrumental in that ttry with a great wrap around move keeping the Counties defence honest. He took the gap and was very well supported on the inside by the try scorer

Hawera with a great break from the 10 channel as he coasts through a gap in between the 2 props. He sped away down field & showed some fancy footwork before passing to Webber to score

Great line by Waikato as they break the line but a poor pass by Weber gives the ball away

Damian McKenzie gets the game started as he kicks deep to Counties Manukau

Tim Nanai-Williams leads his side out & Waikato follow soon after. Welcome to todays coverage of the ITM Cup here on Ultimate Rugby
