Naholo receives a cross-kick from Christie and spots the gap in the Mako defence and he takes advantage and runs his way over the chalk, making the try look effortless!

The teams have a scrum on Bulls' five metre line and all Christie needs to do is dot the ball down as they send the ball out wide!

Taranaki make a break in the Mako line on their own ten metre line and run the ball with pace towards the Mako tryline. The Bulls do a brilliant job of continuing their momentum as they send it to Boshier who dots it down in the corner!

It's halftime here at Yarrow Stadium and the Mako have taken the lead, increasing it just before the break, scoring two tries with less than three minutes to go.

HT: Taranaki Bulls 6-18 Tasman Mako

Fainga'anuku gathers the cross kick from Hunt on the right side just as he did in his first try and he gets over the line on the halftime mark for the Mako!
