Robinson takes the mark but doesn't tap it before he passes it back. Scrum to Southland and well spotted by the Referee

Southland Hooker, Tuapati, gets some repairs on his ankle after it was injured in a tackle. The stags won't be happy seeing that as they have already lost Jason Rutledge for the season

North Harbour are offsides on their rush defence and Sopoaga sets up a big kick

Sopoaga intercepts and the players don't here the whistle after a knock on was called by the Assistant Referee. Southland and Sopoaga are feeling a little hard done by

Harbour on attack and are linking up very well together as the tight 5 set things up and they then send it wide. Great tackle and a double movement by Harbour gives Southland the penalty

Pita Ahki puts a great well weighted nudge ahead for Tevita Li but he just over runs the ball and misses it.

Another try on the left hand side of the field. this comes from a scrum and first phase ball. Robinson was involved twice in that move and a great run by the big Tuivaiti to set up Tuitavake

Tevita Li infringes at the tackle area and is pinged on the far side of the field. Sopoaga makes no mistake in slotting his first and relatively difficult kick

Harbour charge the ball down as Hall tries to kick from the base. Raikuna collects it and a few good passes inside to the tight 5 kept the ball alive. The danger was out wide and they were onto it quickly as they spread it wide and score in the corner. Well executed attack on the turnover ball

Mackintosh leads the Southland side out as they get ready for this clash. They are left waiting a few minutes until North Harbour make their way onto the park.
Robbie Robinson is making his debut for NH this evening against his old side
