Hunt restarts with a high kick and it's knocked on by Auckland, ending the half!
HT: Auckland 24-0 Tasman Mako

The ball is kicked up and high in the air. No one wants to claim it and it bounces once before Whetton takes the decision to gather it before running a good 25 metres to the Mako line and then handing it to Manu. Manu runs the last few metres for yet another try to Auckland!

Auckland win the ball back in the lineout before giving it on to Plummer who clears it downfield, handing possession over to Mako inside their ten metre line

The ref brings the ball back to a penalty against Lam as he is found to be off his feet at the breakdown

Ruru gathers the restart and clears it downfield as Mako gain possession inside their half

What a piece of play from Auckland! Rayasi receives it from the lineout and runs a good ten metres before handing it to Plummer. He runs it another good distance before handing it to the highest try scorer in the competition, AJ Lam. Lam has a few metres to go and gets it over the line for another try to the hosts!

Auckland gather well on their 22 and play some phases before a clearance from Plummer hands in the hands of Havili, who clears it but it travels out directly, leading to an Auckland lineout on the Mako ten metre line

Auckland show some patience as they play the phases from the scrum and push the Mako defence before breaking it as Renata goes over!

Auckland win scrum and they look like they could have this try in the bag
