Rugby Park, Invercargill has been renamed Bekhuis Park for this match as Josh Bekhuis will play his 144th match for Southland to become the most capped Southlander of all time, passing Jason Rutledge's tally of 143.

Great player is Bekhuis. Always put in a shift and was great at lineout time when he was at the Blues during some tough years many years ago now.

Southland score under the posts twice in the first four minutes!

Manson has pace!

Southland up 19-0 after 17 minutes. Alarm bells ringing in Harbourland!

26-0 after 20 minutes! Taylor runs through Edmed and someone else.

Telea and Stevenson just don’t seem interested.
26 nil to Southland.

Jack Taylor having a good game

33-0 after 27 minutes. Taylor gets his third try - this one from the back of a maul.

40-0 Southland killing it.

40-0 after 29 minutes. Everything going right for Southland - that one was pretty flukey!

The best half of Stags rugby I have ever seen sensational!

HT Southland 47-7

Antlers up!

47-7 at halftime.

Harbour score from a maul, but then play goes up the other end - Stevenson picks the ball up at the base of a ruck, the Southland 8 takes it off him and runs 10 yards to score.

Last week's dream for Harbour turned into a nightmare!

At the game... Great atmosphere....

WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT?

GO THE STAGS

@Mattasaurus If you'd told me the halftime score, I wouldn't have picked Southland to be winning!

That sounds completely like Stevenson, too.

That's 50!

Southland get another extremely flukey bounce of the ball.

Bryn Hall can't believe it!

Harbor getting away with a lot

A bit defence-optional this game

Geez that was a fun game to watch. Defence a bit leaky by both teams at times., but by the powers what fun! Stoked for Southland home crowd, First game of year they beat naighbours Otago, and last game they got that game today!!!!

Harbour puts a record score on the Cantabs and then gets smashed the next week.

How did EDG look?
