Counties steal the ball at the lineout and break the defense at will. Nanai Williams looks electric at flyhalf, and after two dangerous runs in a minute, he gets the ball 10m out from the tryline and steps a few defenders to sneak over the line for the final try of the match. A record victory against Wellington for Counties will ensure that Wellington are relegated to the Championship next season. Few would have seen this result as a possibility, but we have been treated to some beautiful running rugby today. Thank you for joining Ultimate Rugby for today's match.

Frank Halai puts in a beautifully weighted grubber which was brilliantly regathered. Wellington soon awarded a penalty though and are able to clear their tryline and set up a lineout near halfway.

5min remaining. Wellington's attacks seem to be riddled with knock-ons, although they have looked dangerous on attack in the second half.

This time it's Counties that run the ball from behind their own tryline, and they too are able to get up to the halfway line before a loose pass gives the ball back to Wellington, who counter attack but once again a poor pass loses to a knock on. Exciting play from both teams although the result is not in question.

Wellington run the ball from their own tryline and make a break down the side. Suddenly they have picked up the pace dramatically. After many breaks and some great hands, including a 20m pass by Ripia, Sione gets over the tryline but loses it forward. Heartbreak after such a great period of play that began behind their own tryline.

Counties butcher a try, as the ball was being dotted down it was lost forward.

Counties build up patiently through many phases, and eventually Tim Nanai Williams runs a beautiful line and puts in a great handoff to break the line and score under the poles.

Wellingtons new front row demolishes the Counties scrum, however they manage to get the ball out in time. Counties run 30m to get into the Wellington 22m, but are penalised for not releasing the ball. Woodward is able to clear the ball and set up a lineout near halfway.

22min remaining in the match, Wellington trail by 34 points.

After some great play by Procter in the midfield, Wellington are finally able to put some phases together and spread the ball wide for a great team try. Ripia puts in a great conversion from the corner.
