Mitre 10 Cup HIGHLIGHTS: Hawke’s Bay v Northland

What a game of Rugby. 96 Points in an epic high scoring match. Hawke's Bay come out victors 55-41. Not many teams lose games after scoring 41 points, and Northland looked the business in the first half. Hawke's Bay took a 14 point lead only early on before Northland took control and went into the break looking well set to seal the win. Hawke's Bay, however came out like a team possessed and scored 5 unanswered tries to blow Northland away in the 2nd half. Both teams will be very happy with their attacking display but will have to work hard this week on defense. Northland don't have much time to do that though, as they travel to Counties Manakau on Sunday while Hawke's Bay's next fixture is at home against a struggling Manawatu
