Gibson-Park capitalises off a brilliant turnover by Taranaki and he breaks around the fringe of the ruck into acres of space. He holds up well and waits for support and spots Naholo out wide and finds him with a long pass to seal the game for Taranaki

Set piece try and what a try it was. The ball was sent wide off the line out and great interplay between Wright and Fositia on the right hand wing sets the number 15 away. He has to send out a long pass in field to Macilai who has to stretch to get it and run in unchallenged

Broadhurst stands up again with 3 big carries in that build up and Taranaki send the ball wide to Thomson on the wing who shows great pace, shows the ball and a hip swerve to dive over in the corner. He finished that like a true winger

Great line out drive from Taranaki and equally good back line running, with and with out the ball. The ball is sent wide and thrown back inside as Naholo is tackled out and McKenzie picks it up and goes over after TMO review

Broadhurst has been getting more involved in the game in the 2nd half and he makes a decent break to set up great front foot ball for his side

McKenzie with an opportunity to set up a good attacking line out position and he misses touch badly as the ball runs over the dead ball line. The penalty cam from a scrum and we have another one now but for Northland

Blood Reversal

Blood

Huge scrum by Taranaki and they nearly win a tighthead. Northland just manage to come away with it and win a penalty to end the half

Northland defending very well as Taranaki look to extend their lead before half time. The defence holds out for 16 phases as Kara Pryor forces a knock on
