Err, we're now back to Hastings' 5m line for a scrum. Hamilton has the feed.

Hamilton has made a lot of changes; many of their subs have come on.

Hastings getting closer and closer to Hamilton's try line.

Bugger, Hamilton steal it, but the pass ends up with a Hastings player. Hastings back on attack ...

Knock on Hastings Boys .. such a pity. That passage of play was awesome. Hamilton's dominance totally gone after their third try.

[Stargazer]

Rotorua have scored their bonus point try, so Hastings must win this to reach the final. A draw isn't enough. They need a converted try and have about 3 minutes to do it. No pressure.
