That is it folks. North Harbour 28-25 Hawkes Bay. What an entertaining match. What appeared to be dead and buried, with North Harbour leading by 22 points was resuscitated. Hawkes Bay, who were slightly absent in the first half came out firing in the second and almost earned themselves a hard fought comeback victory. Thank you for following this match on Ultimate Rugby.
