Dunedin, Southern and Taieri are the three unbeaten sides in club rugby after the second round of games today.

Southern and Taieri had convincing wins but it was harder for Dunedin, who managed to get past Zingari-Richmond 15-5.

The match at Montecillo was a mistake-ridden affair and no points were scored in the second half.

Dunedin burst out of the blocks and was up by 10 points after as many minutes.

It then had a try disallowed to Callum Bruce for an illegal shepherd.

Both sides had opportunities in the second half but failed to take them as wrong options were taken.

In other games, Taieri beat Green Island 65-7 at Miller Park while Southern beat Pirates 31-3.

Alhambra-Union beat Kaikorai 48-13 in a surprisingly one-sided victory while Harbour got in the winning column, beating University A 24-13.

There is a double round over Easter, with games on Thursday and Monday.
