South players mob Will Jordan after his late match-winning try. Beauden Barrett laid on the opening try for Ioane with a deft grubber in behind the defensive line. The North backline, stacked with firepower, impressed again with a magic short side play that finished with Damian McKenzie claiming the try. The South were happy to grind away through their forwards and frustrate the North by denying them possession and playing for penalties. South 38 (Will Jordan 2, Nepo Laulala, Jordie Barrett, Tyrel Lomax tries; Barrett 5 cons, pen)North 35 (Rieko Ioane 2, Damian McKenzie, Aaron Smith, Ash Dixon tries; McKenzie 5 cons)HT: 17-14
