The Taniwha ran in five tries to four in what was veteran Rene Ranger's 100th appearance for the franchise.
It brings new hope to Northland's season, after they failed to register a win and conceded a whopping 181 points through their opening four matches.
For the record... that 181 points has ballooned out to 209 points - an average of 41.8 conceded per game.
Meanwhile, Hawke's Bay have booked their spot in the Farah Palmer Cup's championship final with a come-from-behind 27-26 victory over Northland in the preliminary finals.
