Otago and Counties Manukau have battled it out in the ITM Cup Championship with Counties winning 41-16.
Sevens star Sherwin Stowers linked with August Pulu to get Counties off to a flying start, before Otago flanker Adam Thomson followed suit with one of his own, in what may be his final match for the blue and gold.
Leading 20-13 and halftime, it took Tana Umaga’s boys 20 minutes to find their feet in the second half but when they did it was a thing of beauty, and Pulu picked up a double.
The win sees the Steelers earn a promotion to the premiership next year.
