Manawatu collect a kick inside their own 22m after a great grubber, and attempt to keep the ball in play by throwing a blind pass. Its collected by Otago who go centimeters of scoring. They recycle the ball and spread it wide to score in the corner, however the TMO adjudges that the ball was out of play a few phases back. Manawatu clear up field.

Otago win a penalty at scrum time, should be an easy 3 points for Breen.

Beautiful set piece try. Manawatu perform a perfect lineout before doing a backline move which saw Tudreu come off his wing and make a break through the midfield and score under the poles for his second try of the match.

Otago get back within 4 points after 20min of play. Manwatu win a penalty near halfway and Black sets up a lineout on the Otago 22m line.

Black puts through a grubber, which is easily covered by Renton however the ball slips out of his hands and Tudreu gathers it to dot down one of the easiest tries he will ever score.
