OH NO!! Unbelievable run by Macilai after a set piece move. The Fijian steps inside well and offloads to Wright who comes in at pace and on a very good angle. He is hit hard on the try line by the cover defence and spills the ball when it looked easier to score. Great defensive effort though, it must be said

Wellington look a different side after the break and are taking the scrum after a Northland ruck infringement. Northland are on an official warning too

Ultimate Rugby Aug 8

Wellington kick ahead for Ambrose Curtis but he can't take it as he and a Northland player attack the ball.

Ultimate Rugby Aug 8

Mamea attacks for Wellington on the touchline and as he is scragged in the tackle he tries to shift the ball and knocks it on. Things are not going well for the Wellington outfit

Ultimate Rugby Aug 8

Woodward with a small half break as he makes it over the advantage line but his pass does not go to hand

Ultimate Rugby Aug 8

Northland on attack as they break blind from the scrum. They lose it again and fortunately the other winger, Nakosi, only kicks it into touch

Ultimate Rugby Aug 8

Jone Macilai gifted his second try after the ball squirts out the ruck and he pounces on it. Yet another clean uncontested run in to score

Ultimate Rugby Aug 8

Wellington lose it and Jack Ram gets the pat on the back from his team mates. The Wellington coaching staff will not be happy with that outcome

Ultimate Rugby Aug 8

Two kickable penalties turned down by Wellington as Woodward sets up the line out and they hunt for the try

Ultimate Rugby Aug 8

Loose pass by Woodward is collected by the big Fijian on the wing and they were never going to stop him after they had to turn.
