Wellington beat Southland

6:05 am on 25 September 2009

Wellington got its Air New Zealand Cup rugby campaign back on track with a bonus point 32-13 win over Southland at Westpac Stadium.

Southland had conceded just seven tries in total going into the round eight game but had their line crossed four times as Wellington bounced back from back-to-back losses against Taranaki and Waikato.

Daniel Ramsay, Fa'atonu Fili, Apoua Stewart and David Smith all crossed for Wellington, while Joe Tuineau got Southland's only try.

Southland temporarily stay second, while Wellington move up to 4th.

Tonight Taranaki host Waikato and North Harbour host Counties Manukau.
