Tasman centre Kieron Fonotia was sinbinned, bizarrely, for a second half retaliatory action that amounted to little more than a push. Harbour were swift to pounce, Matt Vaega crossing in the corner after getting on the outside of Mitch Hunt. Hooker Adrian Smith scored a rare try which allowed Harbour to reclaim the late lead. North Harbour 27 (Matt McGahan, Matt Vaega, Adrian Smith tries; Bryn Gatland 3 con, 2 pen).
