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.

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.

Canes4life

Aumua in for another, that's four tries for him now.

Delany having a fine game setting up that try.

Morgan misses another, maybe he should give the kicking tee to TJ Clarke.

55-7 to Wellington. 48 mins gone.

Canes4life

Making their debuts James Douglas comes on for Aumua and Chicago Doyle comes on for Losi Filipo.

Logan Henry has also come on for Preston.

Canes4life

I've been really disappointed by Aiden Morgan. His passing game hasn't been accurate at all.

Winger

Not a good look for Logan Henry. Only a reserve after one game

Canes4life

Sam Clarke looking a lot better than Aiden Morgan.
