Smith goes to the bin for a professional foul

Otago go into halfway with a narrow lead. It looked healthy just on the stroke of halftime before Waikato were awarded the penalty try. Otago have been the more active side for sure. Making most of the metres and attacking plays. Waikato have been more reserved and have picked their opportunities, Its tough to pick at this stage. Otago just nudging it but Waikao certainly in this

Otago have numbers out wide again. Collins dive passes out to Tomkinson, who finds Koroi. He does well to stay in and corner in the corner
