The Steamers hit back and it is another try from a steal by the half back. Great hands and support running
Great try from a turnover as McKenzie picks it up and passes quickly. Some great hands by the men with the low numbers and a sublime pass finds Captain Weber and he goes over
The Steamers hot on attack again but poor handling gives the ball to Waikato and gives them an opportunity to attack. They run the ball back to inside the BoP half and a 50/50 pass is grassed giving the away side a scrum feed
Ben Tameifuna with a great steal on the deck as he went in straight on the ball after Nemani was tackled. Brilliant stuff from the big man
High tackle by Edwardson and Hollinshead steps up to open the scoring
Waikato penalised at the ruck after the scrum and BoP have the opportunity to clear it and create an attack
Waikato kick deep onto Bay of Plenty and Nemani drops it cold. Shocker of a start for the winger and Waikato on the front foot early with a scrum in the BoP 22
Welcome to this ITM Cup clash as we have a league crossover game. This is the lats round of the regular season and there is plenty to play for. The sides are out on the field.
