Ruru gives a great pass to Plummer who spots the perfect gap in the Otago defence and he takes it as he runs a good forty metres before handing the ball over to Ioane who carries the ball over the line for another try against the hosts!

Hammington box kicks and Trainor gathers it on his ten metre line

Plummer gets us underway once again

HT: Otago 6-24 Auckland

The ball is taken back to a previous advantage for Auckland on the halfway as Plummer clears for touch

Auckland turn the ball back over again and restart their attack

Auckland clear for touch and win the subsequent lineout and look to be wasting no time in building momentum but they lose possession soon afterwards with Otago going over the halfway

Auckland gather well from the restart on their 22 and receive a penalty soon afterwards as Otago fail to release in the tackle

Leni Apisai now has two tries in the match.
