Northland's rugby faithful turned out in style to watch the Taniwha took on the visiting Canterbury side at Semenoff Stadium last night.

Unfortunately the boys in blue went down 42-12, but local fans still got their money's worth on Northland Rugby Union's Legends Day. Northern Advocate photographer Tania Whyte went along to catch the action.
