What a set piece play from the hosts! They maul from the lineout and push extremely well over the Otago line. A great start for them with Lamborn being the man to dot it down!

The penalty try is not awarded and it's simply a penalty against Nel. Eade kicks for the corner once again

Welcome to round 9 of the Mitre 10 Cup! This time it's struggling Southland who take on a strong Otago! Southland have been struggling to pick up momentum throughout the season, having won only two of their matches. Otago on the other hand have done well, having won 5 of their games, taking them to the top of the Championship table. Will Otago take the win thanks to their form, or will Southland turn things around and cause an upset as we've seen teams do a few times this season?
