Fidow and Korczyk have been very handy for City in the second half.

Douglas disrupts a maul close to the line, City go wide through Fidow again but this time Banks drags him down about 20 out and Cooper's cross field chip gets charged down.

Tui tries it again, but this times drops him (safely) but it's a penalty for not putting the tackled player down.

City, through Ready, go over from a 7m rolling maul. Cooper converts from out wide. 42 - 33 65 gone.

Tui lifts a ball carrier off the ground and just holds him till the ref calls maul. Second time he's tried it, but he holds on this time.

Abel's not throwing into the lineout in the second half. Instead he was first receiver to Banks who breaks a tackle and scores a cracking try. City hit back very quickly, Korczyk, who's been really busy since he came on, forces a turnover and Cooper goes wide eventually to Fidow who burns on...

28 - 21 to City at half time. City's had most of the ball but the Vikings have run beautifully through some porous looking City defence, including a classic 80m try from a kick return. City had a try on half time thanks to a dominant scrum, was close to a penalty try but no. 8 Richards dived...

What is Foley doing out there? Why was he on the wing in attack?

And instant hit back, what you want to see.

Was nothing wrong with that try, though. Shoulder to shoulder. Poor ruck defence, and better scrambling by the Boks.

Foley kicks the penalty. Boks trying hard to disrupt rucks. 3 - 3 7 gone.

Pretty average start from the Wallabies. Foley's kick off goes about 5m. Half arm to the Wallabies after an early SA shove, then off a quick tap they are immediately isolated and the cleanout poor. From the lineout, Wallabies drive while the jumper is still in the air. Boks kick the goal...

31 - 12, Country take the Purcell Cup for the first time. Well done to them.

Kuridrani in late, nice hands from Gunn and Taefu.

Wow, that's comical. Kenelio dropped the ball over the line after a really nice City play, if he wasn't a bit too casual and dived he would've been OK. City have lost a lot of ball over the opposition try line this game.

Paia'ua showed yellow with 7 to go for a late no-arms tackle. Saw that a few times in Super Rugby too.

Inside ball from replacement hooker Casey to Tupou and Country are in again. Tupou with a nice 15 - 20m run to the line, legs pumping like mad.

Getting pretty scrappy now with dropped balls. Game has been quite good mostly, Country are much improved this year. edit: even allowing for City's weakened state.
