Mitre 10 Cup HIGHLIGHTS: Taranaki v North Harbour

North Harbour put in a completely dominant performance to outclass Taranaki in their own backyard. Six tries by the visitors in the opening 40 minutes put the game to bed early on. The second half was categorised by some excellent tactical kicks by Gatland who kept Taranaki  pinned in their own 22m area. A mention must go to Tevita Li who scored four tries and was ruthless on defense. A late surge by the home side saw them salvage a bonus point to ensure they don't leave the game with nothing. This is the third straight year that North Harbour have put 50+ points against Taranaki.
