- 1164
What a comeback from Northland who looked to be the ones that would settle for a loss against Counties Manukau. Manukau got off to a relatively good start and took a considerable lead by half time of 12-3. Manukau didn't look like they were ready for Northland's fightback in the second half and Northland took advantage of this as they went up to take the lead and the subsequent win against their hosts. Manukau were fighting right until the end but Northland seemed to have the upper hand as they ended off the game with a missed opportunity that could've set their lead further! Northland take the win, 15-24!
