Harbour's pursuit of a win in their 2025 campaign in rugby's NPC continues

21 September 2025

Leading for much of the last quarter - the home side have suffered a 21-19 defeat to Northland thanks to a 79th minute from visiting first-five Rivez Reihana .

The Taniwha's fifth win lifts them into seventh, while Harbour now have just two matches left to prevent a winless season.

One of those games is next weekend's challenge for the Ranfurly Shield against Otago.

Meanwhile - the Otago women have claimed the Championship title in the Farah Palmer Cup - defeating Northland 37-12 in Dunedin.
