Mitre 10 Cup HIGHLIGHTS: Northland v Southland
- 1667
Northland end up getting a bonus point win but it was far from a spectacle. It was all Southland in the second half but they too could not capitalize the possession and could not turn pressure into points. They were eventually rewarded with a try only for Northland to regain their gap at the end of the match. Its back to the drawing board for Southland who's search for a win continues and it doesn't get easier for them as they travel to a rampant Waikato team next week, While Northland will be happy with the 5 points but will have a few question to ask about there general play today. They too have a tough trip, away to a rejuvenated Hawkes Bay
