A well drilled Bay of Plenty Steamers side has beaten Northland 37-5 in Whangarei tonight.
The visitors were too strong in the first half and dispite some strong set plays could only manage three penalty kicks from first-five Nick Evemy in the first half to go into the break 9-0.
In the second half it took less than 2 minutes for the Steamers to get their first try to left winger Elijah Nicholas which was converted by Dan Hollinshead to take the lead out to 16-0.
Northland finally got points on the board after a penalty tap in the 53rd minute which lead to first-five Dan Hawkins driving over to take it to 16-0.
Bay of Plenty were down to 14 men after Jono Kitto was given 10 minutes in the bin after a silly penalty in the 56th minute but four minutes later, the Steamers scored their second try when they were awarded a penalty try from a 5m scrum to lead 23-5.
The visitors went on to score another two tries to pick up the bonus point to win 37-5.
