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.
