McKenzie has a run from his own 22 but Hayden Parker was up to it as he takes his opposite man down.

Parker is deadly off the tee this season which is a great balance to the expansive play shown by his backs. Deadly on attack are the Otago side and Waikato don't roll away at the ruck and concede more points

Uhila joins the maul from the side in an attempt to stop the Otago onslaught and Parker makes no mistake

Quick ball for the teenager gives him the opportunity to break twice and the last one he scored off. Great stepping from the youngster as he converts his own try

Exciting start to the game as Waikato attack but concede a penalty for holding on. Parker kicks for a line out and they took a quick throw in which started a huge onslaught by the Otago side. Multiple phases of attack and a near intercept by Weber was the only real issue to that attack. TJ Ioane came close after a good break by Ealey but the try scorer is eventually the lock Franklin out wide left
