The Turbo's putting together numerous phases inside Southlands half, however the penalty goes to Southland. They opt for the scrum
Opportunity lost without a doubt for Southland! After 14 phases in tight within the pack the ball makes it out wide and with a 2 man overlap the pass is poor and the ball fumbled. Scrum Manawatu just 5 metres from their own line
Referee will reset scrum as first collapses
Very good attacking opportunity for southland. 5 metre scrum
Southland now on the attack inside Manawatu's 10 metre. Just 2 scores in the game and 10 minutes left on the clock
A collapsed scrum gives Te Rure the chance to add 3 more in a 50 metre kick. He makes no mistake
65 mins possession
Manawatu 53%
Southland 47%
Manawatu defended their way out of a difficult situation. Southland put 18 phases together inside Manawatu's 22
Boys couldnt believe his luck as he looked ahead and saw no opposition. He gets the ball just 5 metres from the line and touches down between the posts.
