Mitre10 Highlights: Otago v Wellington (Round 2)

It was a cracking encounter between Otago and Wellington as both teams looked for their second wins of the competition. Otago blitzed to a 2 try lead after two misses at goals by Fletcher, but after those misses Fletcher never looked back and didn't miss one for the rest of the game. Otago continued their strong start and scored another 2 tries to bring the half time score at 28-0. The second half began well for Wellington with Matt Proctor playing excellent rugby with great skills helping Wellington get on the board. After that first try in the second half Otago hit back but Wellington hit back again by a bit of individual brilliance by Proctor and they looked like they were getting into the game. After that, the gates opened up and both teams running end to end but with no points being shared as the substitutions came on. In the last 10 minutes Wellington gave away a few penalties which then let Fletcher and Eade get 9 points to make sure of the victory in the end. Otago will look to keep up the momentum while Wellington will look to get back to winning ways in the next round of the Mitre Cup.
