Taranaki broke a 46-minute deadlock against Southland with a sensational team try as the Bulls snapped the Stags’ one-game winning streak with a 19-0 win.
After a rare scoreless first half, Taranaki capitalised on a midfield scrum after Stags star Marty McKenzie had kicked the ball dead.
The Bulls shifted the ball to former All Black Waisake Naholo on the left, with the winger finding fullback Jayson Potroz who flung a speculative pass back to Sean Wainui who in turn passed to the tryscorer Teihorangi Walden.
Taranaki would score two more tries in the win, which moves them up to fourth spot in the championship on 18 points.
