Full time here at Toll Stadium, as in the end Northland squeak home by a scoreline of 20 points to 19. Rene Ranger gets a happy send off in his final game for his home province, as he now leaves for French side Montpellier. In truth Ranger was outstanding on a day when both sides looked short on quality, especially up front, with turnovers aplenty. Both sides will be happy to end the season at this stage, after failing to make any real impact in their respective divisions. From all of us here at Ultimate Rugby, thanks for following.

BoP secure the line out, but more huge defence from the home side forces the Bay maul to go stationary, forcing another turnover. 90 seconds to go.

Northland clear, but make no real ground, line out to come for the bay.

Great work from the home side, on there own line they come up with the turnover, scrum to come 5 metres out.

5 out from the line now keeping it tight. Northland looking solid in defence

Penalty to Bay of Plenty, Wright pinged for no rolling away. Bay kick to touch for another line out.

BoP really pushing here, mauling in the Northland 22, but getting no where really. Northland look determined to hold out for the win, 6 minutes to go.

Bit of a lull in the game here, as Northland look to hold on to the lead they have as the clock runs down. Rain beginning to fall here at Toll stadium, which will effect the attak of both sides

Ball becomes trapped at the breakdown, and Ranger again comes up with the turnover. Hawkins clears.

BoP back on the attack moving through th forwards, 5 metres out.
