Obstruction

Marty Banks gets the second half underway and Tasman are immediately awarded a penalty after there was some obstruction after the kickoff. Banks lines up what should be an easy 3 points.

Tasman are dominating the set piece which as provided them with more opportunities to score, despite being down to 14 men after Geldenhuys was yellow carded for foul play.

The first half has been characterised by a lot of niggle and unnecessary kicking. That being said, both sides have looked good with ball in hand.
