HIGHLIGHTS: Northland v Hawke's Bay

A great start by Northland as they converted a try within the first 10 minutes but after after a yellow card to Nock, Hawke's Bay capitalized and leveled things up with a converted try of their own. Northland then had a few chances to go ahead and waste a bit of time to get their scrumhalf back on the field and on the 3rd attempt at goal, they took the lead again. Just before the halftime break they again went ahead through Pryor and took a healthy 17-7 lead into halftime. After the break it was Ranger that bursted over the line and continued the momentum throughout the second half. Errors when attacking left the Hawke's Bay side short and hey didn't extend their points in the game while Northland continued and scored a final converted try at the end to receive the bonus point try and the win 34-7!
