All credit to Southland, they put together some impressive off-loads in their first possession. Both sides seem intent on playing good rugby, we're in for a good second half it seems.

Very meaningful start from Tasman. Immediately setting up inside the Southland 22 and starting to apply pressure to the Southland defence.

Southland picked up the pace to earn some territory in the last few minutes which may give them some encouragement going into the changing rooms. Tasman have been the dominant side throughout however.

Replacement Billy Guyton takes over the kicking duties and lands 3 points for Tasman.

As we enter the last 10 minutes of the first half, it continues to be the visitors Tasman who apply the pressure. Fair to say Southland are fortunate to be within 5 at this stage, if they could keep it to this till half time they will be happy.

Try is ruled out as knock on is confirmed. Southland need to hold out here.

Potential Tasmain try currently in the hands of the TMO.. Scrappy 5 metre scrum eventually ends in the visitors crossing but hints of a knock on.

Conversion attempt from Andy Symons has the distance but not the direction

Symons sets up a superb try which unleashes the speed of Lowe on the wing who dives over for the first try o the game,

Andy Symons makes no mistake with his second penalty goal attempt.
