5 minutes to go at Toll Stadium, and both sides look happy to play this game out to a close. Wellington in possession, happy to hold on to the ball without really going anywhere.

TRY WELLINGTON! This game is over as a contest now, as Curtis finds space on the outside and eventually finds Bateman for the score. Sopoaga adds the extras.

A quiet start to the second half, both sides finding it hard to build momentum. Little to reprt after 10 minutes of play.

Northland are caught offside just inside their own half, but Sopoaga again cant convert, leaving him with no kicks from four in the first half.

Less than five minutes to go in the first half, both sides defending well at this stage. Neither side looking likely to break down the other coming in to half time. Northland have done really well to get back into this one after a shaky start.

TRY WELLINGTON! What a solo effort from Ardie Savea! Picking the all up from a lose line out, the flanker simply out paced the Northland defence to score a great solo effort. Sopoaga again is wide with the conversion.

TRY NORTHLAND! Great attack from the home side draws the teams level. Wright makes a long run from his own half and from the subsequent attack, Murday gathers off the back of a maul and scrambles over near the posts. Seymour nails the conversion, and its all square.
