North Harbour v Canterbury and North Harbour vs Tasman (FPC)

Two provincial rugby contests share a single afternoon at North Harbour Stadium, making for a solid run of live action without doubling up on travel or entry.

The programme opens with the Farah Palmer Cup women's fixture as North Harbour take on Tasman, before the National Provincial Championship men's match brings North Harbour up against Canterbury. A home crowd behind both sides adds to the atmosphere.

It is a practical day out for rugby-following families: spectators under 18 can attend North Harbour home matches free of charge, so younger supporters get the full experience of competitive provincial rugby at no cost.
