One of the best individual tries you will see, Lienert-Brown collects the ball in his own half and outs in a great step, shows good strength in the tackle to break through it and then outstrips the covering defense to go over in the corner. Brilliant stuff.

McKenzie struggling with the goal kicking tonight but is looking exciting with ball in hand. He puts in a perfectly weighted grubber for the corner and wins a 10m lineout after Wellington touched the ball. After a great maul they go over for a excellent try in the corner.

Waikato steal the ball at the ruck and spread it wide to Webber who shows some sublime pace and vision to take a gap and outstrip the covering defense to go over for a 40m try in the corner.

The maul was sacked very well and after pushing Wellington back a bit, FIli attempts a drop goal which is unsuccessful. Poor decision in the end not to take the easy 3 points and regain the lead.

The try is disallowed for a double movement however Wellington still receive a penalty after Waikato enter the ruck from the side. Wellington showing confidence in setting up a 5m lineout instead of taking the easy 3 points.

Everytime a team scores some points the other team seems to immediately put the pressure back on them as Wellington regain the ball from their kickoff and seem to have gotten over the line after some hard work by the forwards. TMO called in to check for a potential double movement.

Wellington penalised for having hands in the ruck. McKenzie has an opportunity to regain the lead for Waikato with a kick from 40m out.

Waikato finally have some possession inside the Wellington half, it doesnt last long though as Wellington steal it at the ruck.

Wellington continue putting on the pressure as they have a lineout on the Waikato 22m. Curtis makes a small break but they lose the ball at the ruck and Waikato attempt to counter attack. Fortunately for Wellington they manage to get hold of the player and win a penalty for holding on. Kick at poles to follow.
