Northland have stunned Hawkes Bay to claim a last second 23-21 victory in their ITM Cup match in Whangarei

The Ranfurly Shield holders had an 11-6 lead at halftime thanks to a try from captain Brendon O'Connor.

The Taniwha were far from down and out as they mounted a comeback in the pouring rain to trail 21-16 with minutes remaining.

Incredibly Northland prop Michael Stolberg grabbed a try in extra time to level the scores at 21-21.

From right out on the sideline first five Dan Hawkins calmly slotted a conversion to give Northland the win.
