Otere Black takes a drift ball off the set piece and pops it inside to Nathan Tudreu who hits the line at pace and he was not going to be caught easily after taking that gap

Penalty to Southland after the Turbo's go off their feet. They take it quickly but from the wrong mark. They opt for a line out and Eade kicks it out touch in goal. Shocker from the half back and Manawatu survive

Great quick hands by Kirikiri as he is heavily involved early on

The Manawatu first five-eighth, Black, is receiving some treatment for blood

Southland have conceded 2 penalties in the opening 4 minutes and don't come away with points after early pressure

Kane Hammington takes the ball from the kick off and is forced to kick it out under pressure. Early chance for Southland

Southland are on their way out in a must win game for them if they hope to stay in contention this season

Welcome to Palmerston North as Manawatu host Southland in the ITM Cup
