The hooter has sounded as Bay of Plenty are on the counter attack, trying to get something on the board before halftime.

Bay of Plenty have a lineout 5m out. They form a maul but it gets stopped centimeters from the tryline. They recycle the ball and spread it wide, which ends up being a mistake as Northland turn the ball over and clear up field.

Northland have a rare trip inside the oppositions 22m area. They set up a lineout and Takulua finds a massive gap between the lineout and the flyhalf and runs straight through and goes over the line near the poles. Great try just before half-time.
