A penalty was obtained for Southland, and soon after Jenkins (Southland) scored a try. Taranaki Equalised before the ;end of the spell, Hardgreaves converting a penalty. Six points all. The second spell had been in progress for some time wben Hunter dashed right through, and got in a wonderfully dasby run. Coleman scored next, running right through the centre field from half-way.
