North Harbour earned their 2nd consecutive win and 2nd one by a single point. They had a great comeback scoring 3 tries in 5 minutes to grab a strangle hold on the game and earn a win against the Championship side.
Tevita Li - North Harbour:
A regular feature on the Top Performers list, Li did not dissapoint as he bagged a double today showing great finishing and vision.
Sevu Reece - Waikato:
Following on from a brilliant season last season, the 21 year old has burst out the blocks again this season. A threat with ball in hand he dominated in meters run and picked off the North Harbour defence on counter attacks and open play. Reece will join Connacht at the end of the Mitre 10 Cup campaign
Hapakuki Moala-Liava'a - North Harbour:
Immense throughout with strong carries and big hits, the 8th man was instrumental in the comeback and win. The 21 year old 110kg will be one to watch this season
Ben Nee-Nee - North Harbour:
Tremendous work rate in open play and strong in the lineouts.
Quinn Tupaea - Waikato:
Always dangerous with ball in hand with great pace and a solid step. He was great on defence and scored a great try showing speed and great support to Lansdown. Heavily involved in the game
