    The Bay of Plenty captain doesn't care that their clutch, last-minute win over neighbours Hawke's Bay wasn't pretty

    The Bay of Plenty captain doesn't care that their clutch, last-minute win over neighbours Hawke's Bay wasn't pretty


    Down by three points, the Steamers rolled the dice from a lineout to score the match-winner, taking today's NPC quarter-final clash out 19-17.

    Kurt Eklund was substituted and his replacement at hooker, Taine Kolose, executed the throw then was on the end of the rolling maul.

    Eklund's just glad their season isn't over.



    Coming up just after seven tonight is the weekend's third knockout, with champions Taranaki welcoming Waikato - live commentary on Gold Sport and iHeart Radio.
