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.

It may have not been an aesthetically appealing try, but Hawkes Bay used grit and determination to get over.

Hawkes Bay are centimeters off the line. They keep driving.

Tackling the player without the ball. North Harbour penalty, and they will look to extend their lead by 3 points.

What was a 22 point lead to North Harbour, is now only 7. This promises to be an exciting last 15 minutes.
