Otago fall out of this years competition after a very exciting match. Otago certainly had their chances, however the class of Manawatu came through as they ensured they always had their noses in front, although having less opportunities than their rivals. Thank you for joining Ultimate Rugby for today's match.

Northcott collects the ball on a switch and goes over the tryline to seal Otago's fate.

Manawatu have an opportunity to close out the match after having been awarded a scrum near the Otago 22m line. The first scrum goes down, eating away at more valuable seconds. 1 and a half minutes remaining.

Otago form a maul 5m out and push over for a try in the corner. They need one more converted try to win the match.

Manawatu have possession on the Otago 22m line, Another try would surely seal Otago's fate.

Otago are tackled out of play, then penalised at the lineout. Another big opportunity lost for Otago.

Manawatu put in a huge scrum and nearly win the ball, but they lose it forward while attempting to pick it up. Otago have a scrum 8m out.

Otago have yet another opportunity with a 5m lineout. The ball is messy but they are just about able to regather the ball. They are then awarded a penalty after the Manawatu flanker went offside at the ruck. Scrum called.

Hayden now win the game

Another great passage of play by Otago which sees them camping on the Manawatu tryline, however they give another penalty away, this time for not releasing the ball. Manawatu able to clear the ball.
