Its all over here as Auckland remain unbeaten. Counties will be please with some elements of their performance but certainly will need to improve on discipline. Auckland run out deserving winners after a dominant second half display.

Penalty Auckland. Disciplined defense wins out.

Nervous last few minutes in Eden park. Counties have possession just at the half way line. A penalty here is definately within Ki Anufe's range.

Try!! The gamble pays off. Counties were expecting a driving maul but Auckland peel away quickly back toward the touchline leaving a two on one. Simple pass puts the Hooker McCartney in the corner. Hickey continues with his fine kicking form and converts from the far right hand corner, Auckland now hold a 2 point lead with 3 min to go.

Not rolling away means that Counties continue their trend of giving away penalties in this second half. Auckland controversially go for the corner.

Manukau storm straight back into the game. Brilliant catch from the restart puts counties on the front foot. Great skip pass from Stowers puts Lee-Lo into space. The winger had still plenty to do but some great feet gets him over the line and change the momentum of this game.

Counties scrum goes straight to ground and gives away another penalty.Hickeys slips on the run up to the kick and misses.

Game very much turning in Auckland's favor now. Counties concede yet again and Hickey once more slits the posts. His shape-shooting is really punishing Manukau's indiscipline as they go in front for the first time in this match.

Auckland beginning to turn the ***** here as the force their way back into the game. Counties conceed yet another penalty for offside in their 22 and Hickey cuts the lead to just 1. Stowers returns to the pitch while Auckland have brought on Talisman Weepu to try and turn the game to their advantage.

Auckland fullback Su'a makes a break but is caught isolated and gives away a penalty. Ki Anufe Attempts a massive penalty from about 55m out but doesn't have the distance. Running down the sin bin clock for Stowers must have been an element to go for the kick from that distance.
