Rugby: Taniwha vs North Harbour

In front of a packed Toll Stadium, the Taniwha became the first Northland team to make the ITM Cup semifinals in many years. Playing with the energy of the youthful team they are, the Taniwha ran away with the match, beating North Harbour 58-27 on Friday night. Freelance photographer Jason Milich, who can be found by searching “JasonMilich” on Facebook, supplied the Advocate with these shots.
