Sevu Reece debut

Good to see Sexton back. That will help the scrum.

Starting now

Counties ahead 26-10 at HT

Dalton playing well. Not that it matters of course

So their game plan isn't to park the blindside on the wing....

Good team try finished by Sotutu. He’s been strong on both sides of the ball

Reece has been quiet.

Sure it’s gotten a bit loose in the last 10mins.. but this has been a hell of a performance by Counties

Southland peaked against Waikato. Have had two shitters in a row. Might be hard to get the team back in the right mindset for the rest of the real. Everyone looked flat.
