Waikato crush Otago in Hamilton

6:36 am on 9 October 2010

Waikato have moved to second place on rugby's National Provincial Championship points table, after thrashing cellar dwellers Otago 41-15 in Hamilton.

The mooloo scored five tries to Otago's two with first five Stephen Donald leading the way for Waikato with 26 points including two tries.

The win catapults Waikato to the top of the ITM Cup ladder and all but guarantees the mooloo a place in the semi-finals with just two rounds remaining before the playoffs.
