Northland steal a victory at the death in a very exciting match. The lead changed hands a number of times. Bay of Plenty will feel that they have really missed a big opportunity today after dominating the forwards for the majority of the match. Thank you for joining Ultimate Rugby for today's match.

It proves to be the wrong decision as they are maul out of play. Bay of Plenty have a lineout 5m out and are able to clear the ball as far as their own 22m line. Northland have one more chance.

Northland win a penalty after a player was held back from making a tackle. Amazingly they opt not to take the 3 points to win the game, but instead opt to set up the lineout.

After a long build up, Nakosi gets his hands on the ball at the ruck and wins a penalty after they do not release the ball. Lineout set up on their own 22m. Dunn makes a great break through the midfield and gets all the way into Bay of Plenty's 22m area but is unable to get the ball away to his support out wide. Huge opportunity lost to win the game.

8min remaining. The pace of the match has suddenly increased as both teams really trying to get the winning points. Bay of Plenty have possession just outside Northlands 22m area. Discipline is key.

After a great midfield move, Dan Pryor finds himself 5m from the tryline with plenty of defenders on his tracks, he performs a brilliant no-look pop pass to Dunn who goes over for a try to once again level the scores.

Apologies, it was a Bay of Plenty lineout. They form a maul and barge over the tryline with ease after they formed a maul. Hollinshead slots the kick from the corner to put them 7 points ahead.

Kara Pryor performs a try-saving tackle in the corner, brilliant overall defense by Northland on their tryline. Northland earn a 5m lineout after a few minutes of sustained pressure.
