Full Time here and it has been a classic. Otago hold on to win 52 to 41. At time the running in this game was outstanding. Manawatu will wonder how they scored 41 and didn't win however Otago deserved the victory.
Thanks for joining us here on Ultimate Rugby, see you next time.
5 minutes left here, looks like it will be Otago who will hang on in this classic.
That could be the winner for Otago. Good work from TJ Ioane but really should have been tackled. Good kick from Hayden Parker as he converts.
Otago denied a try by the TMO. Game still up for grabs here coming into the last ten.
Otago stretches their lead to 4 with just over 10 minutes left.
The lead changes again take to the boot of Hayden Parker.
Manawatu take the lead trough Leroy Van Dam who produces a wonderful side step past Peter Breen to score in the corner. Jade Te Rure converts.
Game settles into some defending as Parker and Te Rure both miss kicks at the start of the second half.
Opening try of the second half goes to the away side and its scored by Tevita Taufu'i. Hayden Parker converts.
We are back here for the second half.
