After Stevenson's great run is ended in the 22m. Harbour scramble and send it to Tolai, who is tackled short. McGahan takes it at pace, before stepping inside to score a heartbreaking try to Waikato
Tupaea breaks in midfield before passing inside to Smith. He cracks on the pace to go on his own in the corner
The ball is kicks out the scrum, Groundwater is kick to pounce as he is tackled just short. Taramai quickly picks and drives over
North Harbour go through the phases up to halfway, but a stray offload goes to Tupaea, who see's off a defender to score
Waikato edge it at halftime but there hasn't been much between them. North Harbour have had plenty ball but haven't used it as they would of hoped. Waikato have capitalized on Harbours mistakes and penalties. It should be a fascinating 2nd half
