Strong first half performance by Otago as they lead 24-14 at half time. It's been a physical battle with a few players leaving the field with injuries. Otago's second row issues continue as they lose Tom Rowe, who was a late call up into the starting XV, with a broken hand. His replacement Mika Mafi has impressed with some big tackles. Malaki Fekitoa left the field after 16 minutes with a head knock and will not return to the field. Otago have been ruthless punishing Auckland for their mistakes but the visitors are still in the game. Stay with us for the second half.
