The Mooloo men took down the Otago Razorbacks tonight with a fantastic second half performance to gain the 5 points needed to get us closer to the semi-finals.
3minutes into the game the Mooloo's put the first points on the board with an outstanding try to winger Henry Speight and converted by first five-eighth Stepehn Donald.
Toby Lynn was penalised for not releasing the ball and gave Otago second five-eighth Glenn Dickson opportunity to add 3 points to bring the score to 3-7.
Dead on half time Save Tokula finds a gap in the Otago defense and scores to give us the lead of 17 to 3 after Stephen Donald converted it.
42 minutes in the second half Otago captain Alando Soakai comes out and leads by example with a try in the corner and closely followed by another try to Otago haflback Sean Romans to bring the score to 17-15 to Waikato.
Returning All Black Mils Muliaina hits a gap with 20minutes to go and scores, 27-15.
