Magpies v North Harbour

North Harbour make the trip south to Hawkes Bay to take on the mighty Magpies for the first home Saturday afternoon game of the season. Last season saw North Harbour miss the Bunnings NPC due to being locked down in Albany, so they will be excited to get back out on the field and show the exciting rugby Harbour can play. Bryn Hall will again lead the charge for Harbour playing inside the likes of Bryn Gatland and Shaun Stevenson, meaning the Magpies will have to be on their game to shut the dangermen down. On attack the Magpies have proven to be dangerous out wide in the Hawkes Bay sun, and a 2:05pm kick off provides families a great opportunity to get the kids to the game and enjoy the razzle dazzle Magpies rugby.
