TRY NORTHLAND! Great opening score from the home side, Hawkins with a half break off the back of a lineout, puts in a great offload before the ball is shipped wide to Ranger who just manages to ground the ball in the corner. Hawkins nails an incredible conversion from the corner, And the home side lead early here.
