Parker narrows the gap to just 4 points

Moffat returns to the field while Hayden kicks for touch

Otago finally on the attack however an opportunity lost just before half time as a pass is pushed forward

What a try by Tasman!!! A scrum inside their own 10 metre line is sent blind and its James Lowe who sets things going and sidesteps his opposite number and draws in 4 defenders before offloading to scrumhalf Swanepoel who injects pace into the ball, he manages to make 40 metres and although he could have scored himself he offloads to openside Christie just to be sure of the score.

Mofatt spends the next 10 on the sideline as he takes out his opposite number in the air.

Fun fact:
Tasman have yet to record their first win over Otago, while Wellington are the only other team.

Tasman with all the possession in the last 15 minutes Otago forced to defend close to their line.

It was coming for the past 10 minutes. Squire with the overlap outside calls for the ball and has just 10 metres to run before diving for the left corner. Tasman back in the game.

TMO denies a try by Tasmans 8. Ball chipped forward and collected by Tevita Tangi however the ball is dislodged in the tackle as he dives for the line. Scrum Otago
