[QUOTE="Jethro, post: 275019"] [b]Auckland 35 - 13 Northland[/b] Auckland head coach Mark Anscombe called in the cavalry in the form of four All Blacks to help give his side a much needed bonus point win over the Taniwha. The Rocketman was back to his best as the "A" simply went on a search and destroy mission up North. The only bright spot for Northland supporters was a brief period in the second half when it looked like the Taniwha might stage a comeback.
