The counter attack catches the light blues napping, Paul Grant burning the weak Matt Moulds tackle to draw and pass Spence into the corner. Another missed conversion.
Small but vital response. Hayden Parker has been brought on and nails the penalty from 35 out on the angle as the Northland player hangs on
All to play for here with just 5 points separating the teams and 12 minutes left on the clock
Northland back in the game all of a sudden! It's all on now. Ross Wright barges over as a charged kick and some nervy play gives Northland the opportunity and they don't turn down the gift. Kick is good from sub Dan Hawkins.
