Hawkes Bay hit back. Fomi collects in midfield with space, he shows and goes through a gap before stepping inside to beat the last defender

Nareki magic
Ultimate Rugby Oct 10

Otago mean business. Nareki comes off his wing from the scrum, takes a short pass to go into a gap. He takes it deep into the 22m before offloading to McDowall to score

Otago open the scoring through Collins, who was put into a gap from a cut out pass. Hint of obstruction however

Hawkes Bay host Otago in a Mitre 10 Cup Championship Semi final. The winner goes onto play Bay of Plenty next week for promotion into the Premiership. Hawkes Bay will be favorites for this game after the stellar season they had, but its Playoff rugby, and Otago will know that creates different kinds of pressure. It should be a fascinating encounter
