[foobaNZ]

Tempted to go to this, but work is a bitch at the moment. Dunno if I can sneak away

[Canes4life]

@foobaNZ same here, I’ve got meetings tomorrow so I can’t even stream this at the desk.

@Canes4life That link goes to a 404 page at the moment. Maybe they're making a change to the squad?

[Canes4life]

@Stargazer looks to be working again, and no changes to the squad.

[Canes4life]

@Stargazer actually there was, Chicago Doyle comes onto the bench for Louis Northcott who may have been pulled because he’s playing in the Jubilee Cup final this weekend.

[Stargazer]

Two early tries to Wellington. The first scored by Sione Halalilo and the second by Keelan Whitman after a great break by Losi Filipo.

12 - 0 to Wellington after 10 minutes.

[Stargazer]

Ha, great fend from one of the SC players on Solomona Sakalia, who goes to ground ..

[Stargazer]

You know in advance who'll win in these games, but I really like how competitive these Heartland teams are. They really throw everything at it.

[Stargazer]

Driving maul try to Asafo Aumua. Not converted by Morgan.

17 - 0 to Wellington after 23 minutes.

[Canes4life]

Aumua in again, Morgan converts. 24-0.

[Stargazer]

Another driving maul try to Aumua. Converted by Morgan.

24 - 0 to Wellington after 26 and half minutes.

[Stargazer]

Next try scored by Losi Filipo. He deserved that one. One of the better backs in this game. PU-J very quiet thus far.

[Stargazer]

Converted.

31 - 0 Wellignton with 32 minutes on the clock.

[Stargazer]

Paula Fifita scores for South Canterbury! Great try!

[Stargazer]

It's getting very windy, but the try is converted.

31 - 7 Wellington. Three minutes to go in this half.

[Canes4life]

@Stargazer long phase of play by South Canterbury but they hardly advanced a metre. Wellington defense has been strong but running into this wind must be difficult.

[Canes4life]

Aumua in for a hattrick off a lineout drive to close the half.

[Canes4life]

Isi Saumaki and TJ Clarke in for two quick tries after the half.

Bird has gone off, big Pettett comes on.
