Second half under way here.

Taranaki enjoyed 70% territory in the first half along with 68% possession. Yet only spent 8minutes in the opposition 22. Second half coming up.

Taranaki lead as the hooter sounds. The away side on top after a slow start from both sides. Taranaki could be further ahead if Taylor was slightly luckier with the boot. This game could be won at scrum time.

First try of the game and it goes to Jackson Ormond. Well worked move from the back line as Ormond goes over in the corner.
