Thompson is tackled into touch

Wellington knock on over half way

Up to the 10m now, they try get it out to the left wing, but the rush it and its gone forward

Another penalty. They can kick up to halfway.

Manawatu almost make a huge error by throwing a loose pass on their tryline but they win a penalty instead

Garden-Bachop to restart

Absolutely dominant display from Wellington in that half. Blowing Manawatu away and making them pay for blowing opportunities by losing possession. The only positive is that Garden-Bachop does not have his kicking boots on. Missing all conversions. The Turbos have a mountain to climb as your can be sure Wellington wont take their foot off the gas

Wow what a try fest of a first half, Wellington need to bring in a kicker in the second half...

That's half time after the knock on

Manawatu win a penalty right on half time hooter
