Massive pressure by Bay of Plenty at the scrum and they earn a penalty. They lose the line out in a great attacking position. Coach Killer!

Great individual work and try by Loco after the Stags switch the direction of play with a long pass. He gets the ball out wide with a man in support but steps the first defender and drives over with the second defender on him

Southland 5m out after BoP knock it on and lose it in their 22

Great reply by the visitors as they crash the first phase ball up in the centre channel. The next pass was quick from the base and straight to Bardoul who was coming around at pace and bashed over with some help

Bay of Plenty are straight back on attack and nearly score but are penalised for obstruction, they did have advantage and have a scrum feed

Frantic start to the game as the Stags send the ball left and right as they look for an opening. BoP coughed the ball up after a kick and infringe at the ruck. Kick to come

We are 20 minutes away from game 2 of this years ITM Cup. Yesterdays Premiership clash was a 6-6 draw and we are hoping that this Championship clash will produce tries and plenty of points.

UP THE STAGS!!
