Denied by the TMO for the 2nd time in as many minutes. Luke Whitelock was held up. 88% territory for Canterbury in the 2nd half!

Up to the TMO again, this time Canterbury look more confident!

Moody limps off, gotta feel for the guy who was just called up for the ABs

Looks like Toomaga-Allen managed to get under the ball and prevent the try!

Joe Moody is held up centimetres short. Off the next phases one of the forwards picks quickly and barges over the line. We're going to the TMO fo 'try/no try'

Canterbury on the attack again through Bleyendaal and Whitelock. Wellington defence holding strong.

Andrew Ellis breaks two tackles and offloads to Bleyendaal who is held up 1m short but some how Wellington turn the ball over! Ngatai clears the ball but can't find touch allowing Canterbury to run it straight back. Whitelock takes a crash ball and bring plays to the Wellington try line. Off the next phase Osborne throws a big skip pass out to Crotty who is unmarked on the wing.

Sopoaga, under pressure in this own 22 and gets charged down. Bateman is on hand to sweep up and clear their lines.

HT here in Westpac. Both sides have found it difficult to get any real momentum in what has been a scrappy first 40. The breakdown has been very competitive with Canterbury edging the battle late in the half. Wellington hold the lead but will the holder be able to make the most of the wind in the second half? Stay tuned to find out!

Wellington run from deep and break through Bateman and Sopoaga. But once again support is slow and Canterbury claim the turnover on halfway.
