North Harbour can be incredibly proud of themselves. They defended like absolute beasts, and saw out a massive Manawatu onslaught. Very good performance by North Harbour. Fantastic game of rugby in tough conditions. That's all from Ultimate Rugby on this game. Thank you for joining us.

Manawatu are pinned back in their own 22m.

3 mins to go and Manawatu are 11 points behind. Could North Harbour break their losing streak?

North Harbour penalty, right in front of the poles.

North Harbour are patiently retaining possession.

Te Rure's first involvement is kicking the ball directly into touch.

Black missed to the right of the poles. 10 minutes to go and North Harbour are 8 points ahead. They are going to need to keep showing the determination that they have shown up until this point.

12 minutes to go, and North Harbour have weathered a massive Manawatu storm, and have gone 8 points up. But are at risk to lose it through a Black penalty.

North Harbour are looking more threatening since the arrival of Blucher. Penalty just outside the 22m. Halangahu will go for the 3 points.

Blucher makes an immediate impact, breaking and helping his team get into the Manawatu 22m.
