Full time and after a nervy finish Wellington have ran out 35-27 winners. A game which should have been easily won by the table toppers was their toughest game of the season and North Harbour brought them right down to the wire. Wellington stay top of the Premiership after securing a bonus point win. North Harbour leave the game with nothing even though they will feel like they deserved something, they stay bottom of the Championship. Thanks for following on Ultimate Rugby.
