Manawatu take it up, Hyland is take on the 5m out wide. Nock snipes around the blindside of the ruck to score

Manawatu draw first blood! Boult does brilliantly to go past a defender before taking it up, he finds Northcott who sings it out to Taylor who does brilliantly to stay in field and score

Hello and welcome to Ultimate Rugby's coverage from the Mitre 10 Cup. Its round 5 action and Manawatu host Northland. Both teams have struggling in the early part of the competition. Manawatu, who are yet to win, have shown some fight but have not been able to build momentum. Northland, who won their opening game against Southland, have struggled since then. They have lost their last 3 games by some big margins. Today will be a good opportunity to turn things around. The team that loses, may find themselves struggling to move up the table.
