Time to consult the TMO again. A series of tight pick and goes ends Talemaitoga Tuapati in crossing the line for the games first try.

A Southland attack comes to an end when the ball is lost forward at the bottom of a ruck. BOP clear their lines but straight to Robbie Robinson who counters and wins a penalty. Southland attack again.

A poor box from Fisilau puts all his forwards offside just outside his 22. Poor mistake.

Both sides very competitive at the breakdown with 3 turnovers in the space of 5 seconds! Eventually Latimer breaks up field to set up an attack for the homeside.

Despite having the lions share of possession, BOP have the chance to turn a rare attacking opportunity into points after Fonoti is guilty of infringing on the deck. Poor discipline from the away side.

That's what the ITM cup is all about! A loose kick is gathered by Robbie Robinson and he breaks up field. A number of supporters are on hand and a number of passes later sees Hale T-Pole go over in the corner! Ref goes to the TMO, who rules the try out for a forward pass. Very touch and go!

Some tactical kicking to start the game. Eventually Ripia sees a gap and look to make the break. He is chopped down by Hardie who then competes for the ball but the ref adjudges that he didn't release and awards a penalty to the homeside.
