in an attempt to run the ball up field the pass is intercepted by the visitors and the big outside centre runs in for the score

penalty to Northland as the tackle was made on a man by Southland but the man didn't have the ball... taken quickly

kick up field now but, not into touch and the home side back on the attck

defensive scrum well dealt with by the visitors and they choose to run the ball

solid scrum and the ball comes out to the back and the home side attack but the ball is lost forward crucially and a scoring opportunity is lost

the ball goes dead after being carried over the try line and the scrum will be set 5 meters out with the home side to feed
