Video file

In 2000 the Ngāti Porou East Coast rugby team won the third-division title. The next year they played Hawke's Bay in the second-division final. This clip records the exciting last minutes of the game and shows the enthusiasm that the National Provincial Competition (NPC) has engendered in the smaller provincial unions.
