Fantastic first half of rugby. The lead changed a few times. Manawatu are certainly up for this. Otago had to battle hard and ended the half the best. Both teams are attacking and letting the move move through the hands. They probably deserve their lead. It should be a great 2nd half.

Otago send wide. Nareki takes it up and tackled. As the ruck is about to form, he realizes he isnt held in the tackle and breaks away. He beats the last defender to score a brilliant individual try in the corner
